IMO the answer should be B. B corrects the comparison.

B. Loyola college is home to students who are academically stronger than those in (Correct)
C. the students in Loyola college are academically stronger than they are in (Same as A)
D. Loyola college's students are academically stronger than they are in (Same as A)

Only answer choices B) and E) begin with "Loyola College", which is the correct comparison to "Apart from a larger student body than Christ college". E) however, compares students with the Christ college, which is an insufficient comparison.

Therefore answer choice B) ist correct.

Just one question.
Is the starting phrase of the sentence "Apart from a larger student body than Christ college" presents a correct comparison?
If yes how?

E Loyola college has students stronger academically than


IMO, actually this choice doesn't compare students with Christ college,
It is the ambiguity which falls into question.

1) Loyola college has students stronger academically than Christ does -> this will be the comparison we were looking for,
2) Loyola college has students stronger academically than Loyola college has Christ -> wrong meaning
