C rightly compares the scholarship value
and D gives more clear meaning and structure

some states offer X for Y who are ranked even higher than Z

Shouldn't we use greater to compare scholarship values ? ? If that is the case then D is right. Correct me if i am wrong

a) to high ranked in-state students merit scholarships that are of higher value even than offered to low-income students
b) to high ranked in-state students merit scholarships even higher in value than to low-income students
c) highly ranked in-state students merit scholarships even higher in value than the scholarships offered to low-income students
