To me it's very strange SC. Hope someone could help.

Federal judges are sentencing white-collar criminals to prison with (higher frequencies and the sentences, even though still shorter than the average for crimes such as armed rubbery, are increased).
B. greater frequencies and the sentencing, although still shorter than the average for such crimes as armed rubbery, has been increasing.
C. greater frequencies and the sentences, though still shorter than the average for such crimes as armed rubbery, have increased

Please explain your choice.
Thanks.

(B) as well
"the sentencing" describes a process.
I agree that the construction of this SC is little clumsy.

Yeah, HongHu, I just looked up the dictionary and the use of "sentence" seems fine too.

I don't know. Maybe Paul or Prae can explain.

I have a doubt here...

Although/though are conjunctions and thus they require some clause not phrases.

Please correct me...

While sentences can be shorter or longer, "sentencing", as the action of "awarding sentences", can only be more or less frequent, not shorter or longer.
