IMO: B

For many travelers, charter vacations often turn out to cost considerably more than they originally seem to [cost].
parallelism between "out to cost " and "seem to cost"

Anju: The seem has to be used in past tense because we are referring to it in past as in out to cost.....originally "seemed" to cost.

In absense of this option I choose E.....it originally seemed they would.
Thanks For Your Help

I just answered this one in another thread. Take a look at my reply here (2nd page):
https://www.beatthegmat.com/sc-question-t6687.html

p.s. for others, this is why it's great to do a search before posting a new question - I think the other thread started after this one and if whoever it was had searched, then they could've just added to this thread and we'd have the entire discussion in one place!
