IMO B

Because dropout rate IN Srilankan schools... should be compared to Dropout rate IN Asian Nations..

OF Asian Nations sounds as if Asian nations are getting Dropped out..

Whats the OA..??

I'm puzzled. Isn't Srilankan supposed to be one of the Asian countries? Should we add an "other" before "Asian countries" here?

drop out rates of Asian Nations does not sound very good to me.

C --- that which it is sounds very awkard.

Will go with B.

to me all of them seems to be wrong..
but considering all pros and cons..
i would go with "d"..

a) that of Asian nations(wrong comparison odf school dropout..with nation's drop out)
b) what the rate is in Asian nations(it is awkward)
c) that which it is in Asian nations(awkward)
d) Asian nations'(referring to Asian nations schools)
e) that which they are in Asian nations(awkward..)
