I don't think you need to worry about what comes after 'likelihood'.
A． that they have twice the likelihood to get osteoarthritis of the knee as do White women
PROBLEM: You can't "have a likelihood."

B． that they are twice as likely as White women to get osteoarthritis of the knee
ANSWER: No problems here "twice as likely as White women" is clear, and you are likely TO get something.

C． that their likelihood of getting osteoarthritis of the knee is twice as much as White women
PROBLEM: A likelihood can't be twice as much. It doesn't make any sense. A likelihood can be high or low, but not twice as much. Also, we're comparing the likelihood too "white women" here, which is the wrong comparison.
