261. During the 1980s it became clear that soliciting private funds was far more efficient for environmentalists who sought financial aid than to go to state or federal agencies.

(A) that soliciting private funds was far more efficient for environmentalists who sought financial aid
(B) that for environmentalists who sought financial aid, it was far more efficient to solicit private funds
(C) that for environmentalists seeking financial aid, private organizations were far more efficient to go to
(D) for environmentalists seeking financial aid, going to private organizations was far more efficient
(E) for environmentalists who sought financial aid, private organizations were far more efficient

IMO B is correct...though A also looks tempting...
I think the logic here is Correct comparison

more efficient TO SOLICIT than TO GO TO STATE
this structure seems good

in A i think WAS after than is missing...and even if we place was after THAN, WAS TO GO seems awkward...
in other Options
D---> Going To compared to TO GO TO INCORRECT
E----> PRIVATE ORG compared to TO GO TO INCORRECT
C----> again wrong comparison distorts the meaning

Good question....this IT is called INTRODUCTORY IT...

for example, It is raining....here IT is as such referring to nothing but the use is correct

Even in this same question if u see the non-underlined portion "During the 1980s it became clear"..bla bla bla
here again IT is working as an INTRODUCTORY IT...and its correct...
Never get confuse okay...the trick is IT introduces the clause or u can say comes in the start...

Hope this helps

Two items in skelton.. more...than should be parallel. In non-underlined portion iti is : to go to, so effortlessly one should spot another "to" construction. B and C have it. So let us quickly eliminate others:

D/E: they both are wrong, because, idiomatic construction requires a that for : it became clear that, and not for.

In A more efficient for X .. than to go to is clearly not parallel.

So left with B and C : in C were constructs requires in than part,
so B is correct.
