C， much不能修饰可数名词elephants。with在GMAT的详细用法，请看置顶帖“语法知识点”里的总结。

LZ可能没有看清楚题目：D, 前半句用 as much as修饰的是90 percent of Thailand ， 后半句用as many as修饰可数名词 elephants ， C前半句用 as much as修饰的是90 percent of Thailand ，（这是对的）  但是在后半句用了as much as修饰可数名词 elephants,这就错了。

much不能修饰可数名词。

C中with的结构有修饰歧义。

最主要的，你看为划线部分是domesticated,所以them是指代大象。D perfect.
