To add to the woes, what is wrong with 'in contrast to' in C ? It is a well accepted idiom in GMAT.

IMO C - the GMAT does not draw a distinction between "in contrast to" and "in contrast with".Whats the OA and the source?

B is the answer. A and B are the same but B is more precise so that is the right answer.

As contrasted with ... - is NOT a valid idiom in GMAT. B is correct. Btw, C also has perfect construction. In contrast to - is a valid and acceptable idiom in GMAT. Cheers!
