the economic bases of the white colleges are compared to the black colleges.

So - answer (B) "Than those of" is appropriate.

IMO B

'than is so of" doesn't sound correct. It would rather have been 'than is THAT of'.

here we are comparing the similarities and differences between two like things, so compared to is inappropriate.

IMO C.

to refer things/nouns we use 'those'/'it'
to refer 'actions' we use 'so'

eg. He needs to do 'it' is wrong.

"compared to" is wrong
"than" makes wrong comparison so wrong.


only answer left. C
When you think you can or you cannot, you are generally correct.
