Choose C. The construction in C does not require a repetition of significance after "have" or a demonstrative pronoun referring to significance. You can reorder C to be: even greater significance than the particulars of the plan have=even greater significance than have the particulars of the plan.

In B. you want "..than that of the particulars of the plan or than the significance of the particulars of the plan", either of which is missing.
