A middleweight black hole weighs in at roughly 500 solar masses, hundreds of times more massive than the lightweight black holes produced by the collapse of individual stars, but （thousands or even millions of times less in its mass as） the heavyweight giants that lurk in the centers of galaxies.

(A) thousands or even millions of times less in its mass as
(B) it is thousands or even millions of times less massive as
(C) thousands or even millions of times less massive than
(D) yet it is thousands or even millions times less massive than
(E) yet it is thousands or even millions of times less in its mass than
这道题我选的A，答案选C，但是C不是一个完整的句子，难道bu连词后可以跟不完整的句子？请求帮助！谢谢！

这个题，A B 排除是因为less as,应该用less than吖
楼上回答的很好的..一般来说并列两个名词不能用逗号，但是这里不用会有歧义，要根据语义判断

这道题but用的很好，并列了两个noun modifier (both are used to modify "500 solar masses")

example: Kate is charming but easy to get angry.
              Mercedes is expensive but endurable.

原文“hundreds of..., but thousands ...” but前面有逗号，是因为如果没有的话，the structure is too long to be readable.
