You are correct the OA is C.

Correct answer: (C)

Solution: Answer (C) is correct because it corrects the Equivalent Elements error in the original sentence, which compares high elevations to mosquitoes at lower elevations. (C) uses two independent clauses joined by a conjunction ("but") to make the comparison between mosquitoes at high elevation and mosquitoes at low elevation clear and logical. Answer (B) is incorrect because it maintains the Equivalent Elements error, comparing dangerous illnesses to mosquitoes. Answer (D) is incorrect because it compares high elevations to mosquitoes. Answer (E) also contains a problematic comparison because it relates high elevations to mosquitoes.

(D) Unlike those of the high elevations, where mosquitoes don't carry serious illnesses, many lower elevation mosquitoes
