A.) as
B.) than
C.) that
D.) of what
E.) at which
Here, the required construction is as follows:
X is being sold for Y times Z.
In this construction:
X =
a new hair-growth drug
Y =
three
Z =
the price THAT the drug's maker charges for another product
Putting these elements together, we get answer choice
C:
A new hair-growth drug is being sold for three times the price THAT the drug's maker charges for another product.
The correct answer is
C.
D:
three times the price of what the drug's maker charges
Here,
what the drug's maker charges = the PRICE.
Thus, D conveys the following meaning:
three times the price of the price
Since the conveyed meaning is redundant, eliminate D.
