Comparison in B: Wild animals have less total fat than livestock

Comparison in C: wild animals have less total fat than that of livestock

The comparison in C is wrong. Here, the "wild animals" should be compared with "livestock".

If the sentence were framed as "... the total fat of the wild animals than that of livestock... ". it would have been correct as the "total fat" is compared between wild animals and livestock.

See the construction of C.

wild animals have less total fat than that of livestock.

This is wrong. According to this sentence literally it means,

wild animals have less total fat than total fatof livestock. Is it correct?

Wild animals have less total fat than live stock
or
Wild animals have less total fat than the total fat of live stock.

Of course, first one is correct which is stated by B.

Take a look at the below simple sentences :

I have less money than you (have). (Correct)
I have less money than that of you. (Wrong)
The money of me is less than that of you. (Correct)
