In 1978 only half the women granted child support by a court received the amount awarded; at least as much as a million and more others had not any support agreements whatsoever. 
(A) at least as much as a million and more others had not any 
(B) at least as much as more than a million others had no 
(C) more than a million others had not any 
(D) more than a million others had no 
(E) there was at least a million or more others without any 

How to choose between C and D?
what is the difference between the split here?
thanks

This appears to be mostly an idiom issue: had no ____ whatsoever is a commonly used expression.

"had not any" may not be technically incorrect (you'll find this usage in 18th century literature), but it's certainly not in common usage today. "Had not any ____ whatsoever" is not idiomatic.

What is the source of this question?
