固定搭配：charge (a price，数额) for sth.

three times sth.三倍的某物

three times the price that the drug’s maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient

that引导定语从句，先行词为the price，定语从句中，that做charge的宾语

刚查了下语法书
基数词 + times + as + 形容词/副词原级 + as 。。。
基数词 + times + 形容词/副词比较级 + than 。。。
基数词 + times + the + 表示大小或数量的名词（如size，length等） + of 。。。

那这题是不是考的是第三种用法？应该选D阿

D是逻辑上有问题 " what the drug’s maker charges for another product" 的本质就是price   则the price of price的表述就不合逻辑  应该是the price of the product

老美那里抄来的

this one isn't that bad if you get down to the "skeleton" of the sentence. to do that, you should kill intervening prepositional phrases that don't affect the grammar of the main sentence. 
to this end, you can simply get rid of the following: 
"per milligram" 
"for another product" 
"with the same active ingredient" 
and you're left with: 
a new drug is being sold for three times the price ____ the drug's maker charges. 
once you see this, it should be more clear that (c) is the correct answer. if you're a non-native speaker and you can't recognize "that" as the word belonging in that blank, then here's the reason: it's because "price" is the direct object of "charges". when you turn around such constructions, you use "that": 
i hit the ball --> the ball that i hit 
she delivered the baby --> the baby that she delivered 
etc.

个人以为，这里是第一种用法但是有省略：“three times (as much as) the price that ...”

第三种用法不对，因为“price”不是表示大小或数量的名词，而是一个实意的名词。

这就是第三种用法，没有要求一定是大小或数量的名词

汇总下：
倍数+as……as或more……than都对，但A和B只有as和than所以错
D：the price of what the drug's maker charges for another……也就是the price of the price所以错
E：the drug's maker charges at a price(=which)用法错！可以说sell sth at a price,但不能说charge at a price.
