A & C are grammatically correct. Hence, contenders. The difference between A and C comes down to the meaning. Logically, It should be that, in C, the location of a house correlates more with its price than its quality of construction correlates with its price. A is saying that the location correlates wth its quality of construction; This does not really make sense.
(C) is the correct choice.
