A.less than those of the 1978 harvest. Pronoun those is missing an antedecent.
B.less than the 1978 harvest Correct.

IMO its B.

A - The only possibility for THOSE is TONS (but that will be far fetched as TONS is not the complete entity - its coming with 41 MILLION TONS and if THOSE has to refer to "41 million TONS", then the sentence will become absurd)

rice production is a singular noun and we cannot use 'those' (plural) to refer back to a singular noun.


hope this helps.
