The two things that differ (in size, population etc.) are the countries and not the GDP

the sentence means to say that
"While the NJ and the Pakistan differ greatly in size, population and geography, the state of NJ in the USA and the country of Pakistan have GDPs that are roughly equivalent."
"While the NJ and the Pakistan differ greatly in size, population and geography" -> this modifier can't modify 'the GDP' as in choice a

The bold part must modify a region/country etc.
In GMAT we term these kinds of problem as Apple to Oranges Comparison
Hope this Helps
