I think in option B, the comparison is not parallel, while in C the comparison makes more sense and is parallel.
here's a closer look at option C:
that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
Notice the parallel items marked in - underline and italics.
in option B, such a parallel structure does not exist.
hence correction option is C.
If anyone has a better explanation, please chime in.
