IMO A.
We should not use than here, because we are not comparing two different things here and also if using "than" then comparison sides won't be parallel.

Hi guerrero,

What is the source of this SC?

Since "people" are countable, the sentence should state "...The Three Monkeys now has twice the NUMBER of....."

This is a common-enough idiom rule that I'd be curious about who screwed it up.
