i think C is correct answer

from internet:

ANSWER:  C  I have researched this question, both here on ST and in the grammar/style texts, and I cannot find any support for D in this case (or, generally, as "of what" is simply poor style, even when it is not grammatically incorrect). This is a question that deals with correct usage of a relative pronoun (that, which, who, whom, what, and whose). The function of a relative pronoun is to introduce a subordinate clause and relate it to another antecedent word or idea. In this sentence, that idea is "...three times the price..." The relative pronouns which would work here are: that and which (not "what," not "of what, not "at which"). So, A, B, D, and E do not work with this construction. And, by the way, "of what" can nearly always be said in a better, more stylistically acceptable fashion. This sentence should read, "A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price, per milligram, that the drug's maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient." The first part of the sentence is the main (or independent) clause. The last part of the sentence is the subordinate (or dependent) clause. "That" refers to "three times the price" clearly and it introduces the subordinate clause correctly. C is the best answer, FOR THIS CONSTRUCTION. If "the price" were omitted from the sentence, then this would be correct, "A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times, per milligram, what the drug's maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient." But, even with this construction, "of what" does not work.

好象答案是D,但是我选的时候也选了C

我这里给的正确答案也是D,但是说是有争议的一个题目

偶选C。理由：

将that代入修饰price，是同位语从句；D中的what无指代对象。

醉兄，你如果把这一大段E文总结一下，估计就很清楚了。

去帮助看偶的问题啊！

不是what无指代，而是重复指代

what=the thing that

前面已经有了the price所以只需要关系代词that或者which

如果我们去掉the price,则可以用what来表达。

A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times, per milligram, what the drug's maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient.

而且这里不需要of出现

D is better than C, I think.

As there is a term "3 times of..." e.g. He is making 3 times of what I am making. The "what" here refers to the salary.
