I found C option more logical than D.

(only problem with C is that we cant say penchant is larger ... that that of......somebody else. although am not
100 % sure )

but in case od D , how u can use HAD for counterpart.... That means they no longer have penchant .... :)


Expert ... Ron.. Stacy.. Plz comment..

Thanks!

I would go for D....larger is incorrect to modify the term "penchant"....
It should have been greater....

Hence option D is ok...AlSO had there been "greater" instead of "larger" in CASE A then it would have been correct....
