The answer should be C.
Investors base their choice [on what?] comparisons.
This clearly calls for a noun to follow.

Roughly speaking, you base your reasoning on data.
Hence C.

A noun has to be basis of any judgement here. The only noun available is comparison.

I was going thru some old posts and I noticed that some guys( Bhai,Vithal) got it wrong.
The official ans is C.
People " base their choice on comparisons " .....of X with Y.
Here X and Y are similar...so we use "comparison with"
"compare to" not appropriate here.
