Over 75 percent of the energy produced in France

by jessicanhan Mon Jun 15, 2009 10:17 pm

Over 75 percent of the energy produced in France derives from nuclear power, while in Germany it is just over 33 percent.

A) while in Germany it is just over 33 percent
B) compared to Germany, which uses just over 33 percent
C) whereas nuclear power accounts for just over 33 percent of the energy produced in Germany
D) whereas just over 33 percent of the energy comes from nuclear power in Germany
E) compared with the energy from nuclear power in Germany, where it is just over 33 percent

I chose D but the answer is C. I was debating between D and C because they both seemed right. I don't know why D is wrong. Could you help?

Thanks

Only option C provides proper comparision. Hence the right answer
