Unlike the United States, where farmers can usually depend on rain or snow all year long, the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka are concentrated in the monsoon months, June to September, and the skies are generally clear for the rest of the year.
(A) Unlike the United States, where farmers can usually depend on rain or snow all year long, the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka
(B) Unlike the United States farmers, who can usually depend on rain or snow all year long, the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka
(C) Unlike those of the United States, where farmers can usually depend on rain or snow all year long, most parts of Sri Lanka's rains

The first thing I saw was a 3:2 split (not completely)
(A) Unlike the United States, where farmers can usually depend on rain or snow all year long, the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka (comparison is not clear)
(B) Unlike the United States farmers, who can usually depend on rain or snow all year long, the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka (comparison is not clear)
(C) Unlike those of the United States, where farmers can usually depend on rain or snow all year long, most parts of Sri Lanka's rains (comparison is not clear)
(D) In comparison with the United States, whose farmers can usually depend on rain or snow all year long, the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka (comparison is not clear)
(E) In the United States, farmers can usually depend on rain or snow all year long, but in most parts of Sri Lanka the rains

The comparison should be between the conditions at the two places.

Even I had the same question, but what I understood is,
In (all parts of) the United states... but in most parts of Sri Lanka......
Though we just mention US as a whole we mean all the parts/states/counties combined together.....

HTH Thanks
