B) state parks costs far more to maintain than other state land does
C) maintaining state parks costs far more than other state land
D) state parks cost far more to maintain than other state land does
E) to maintain state parks is far more expensive than other state land

Down to [spoiler]A/D, why not A?[/spoiler]
