99. The use of chemical pesticides in this country is equally extensive or more so than ten years ago.
(A) equally extensive or more so than ten years ago
(B) equal to or more extensive than ten years ago
(C) as extensive as ten years ago or more
(D) equal to, if not more, than ten years ago
(E) as extensive as it was ten years ago, if not more so

Why the answer is E???what is the meaning of the if not more so
I think B is clearer than E

if not more so是固定搭配，表示“就算没有更甚”

But BraveMBA, what's wrong with B? B is a good answer too ya.

B should be "equally or more expensive".
"equal to" and "more" cannot parellelly modify expensive.
