Someone probably had mentioned this above but the major difference between A and B is 'greater than' v. 'more than.'

The subject that we are talking about in this sentence is RATE which is a singular/non countable subject.

'Greater than' describes a non-countable subject (subject that are singluar such as rate, water, food).

'More than' should be used to properly describe a countable subject (subjects that are plural such as cats, dogs, cars, etc)

Because Rate is singular greater than is appropriate and thus our answer A!

Hope that helps!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
