Hemanth, thanks for the tip. I looked at it again. B must be the answer because although B and C are both grammatically correct and acceptable, B refers more specifically to the number 4,000 in the sentence than C does because it says 'that amount' as opposed to 'as many'.

This is another case of making a best choice decision, one where you need to be armed with knowing GMAT English, as opposed to what we might normally speak or write. Frustrating! AARGH! :roll:
