Which of the options is the best option and why?

OA B

[deloitte247]

The correct answer is B. This is because a consistent comparison is drawn between similar objects i,e Cashew nuts and other nuts and seeds.

Option A is wrong because the comparison drawn is between chestnuts and the calories in other nuts. This is similar to comparing cars and the fuel they carry rather than comparing cars with other cars
option C is wrong for the same reason as option A, the only difference is the other in which the comparison is being carried out.
While similar objects are being compared in option C, it is also wrong because the sentence structure appears quite confusing and is not as well ordered as option B.
Option E is obviously wrong because when placed directly in the sentence ("Compared with in other..."), it does not make grammatical sense seeing that the propositions are used following each other.

Hence, the correct answer remains option B
