Rather than is preferred idiom over Instead of, Eliminate option A, D,E
Its 3/2 split

Now between B and C
in B ; ALPS to do so, rather than by Sea, both refer to the same subject Invade .
that hannibal want to invade either though alps or through sea. So its correct form

C
. to do it, rather than coming : here coming is not an action verb which can refer back to Invade : Incorrect

Answer B
