a , d are wrong, "previous year's cost" is not logic

c, is wrong: "previous year's" dose not have possesiveness in the first part of sentence

d, is wrong , "it" has not clear reference

e, "costs" must go with "those" not "that"

In B, what does those refer to in the end? Can't be "costs" since that is singular?

Can somebody explain why in B "doubled ... while cutting" is parallel?

"Cutting" does not have to parallel "doubled" because it is an action that took place along with the doubling. For example, we would say "I ate while driving to class," not "I ate while drove to class."
