Prices at the producer level are only 1.3 percent higher now than a year ago and are going down, even though floods in the Midwest and drought in the South are hurting crops and therefore raised corn and soybean prices.
1. than a year ago and are going down, even though floods in the Midwest and drought in the South are hurting crops and therefore raised
2. than those of a year ago and are going down, even though floods in the Midwest and drought in the South are hurting crops and therefore raising
3. than a year ago and are going down, despite floods in the Midwest and drought in the South, and are hurting crops and therefore raising
4. as those of a year ago and are going down, even though floods in the Midwest and drought in the South hurt crops and therefore raise
5. as they were a year ago and are going down, despite floods in the Midwest and drought in the South, and are hurting crops and therefore raising
I understood why option B is correct and the other options are wrong but I wanted to understand if the comparison in option A is correct?
Do I need to write “those” or can I just say that prices at the producer level are only 1.3 percent higher now than a year ago? Since the word “prices” is already there in the sentence and implied?

"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."
