C. minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing
D. it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice

It's from a retired test. Why is the answer A? I would rather go for C. [spoiler]Isn't it supposed to be "be likely to do sth"?[/spoiler]
