B

the construction has to be "lower than that of" since it says "annual per capita income of $111"

Is that the OA?

B is correct.... no doubt

but don knw why it looks something is fishy in sentence itself...

i.e. removing commas portion, sentence makes no sense...

but now dont want to think abt this...so tired up...
