I got this question from Aristotle grail and was wondering if 'where' can be used in this case as MGMAT SC guide says 'where' cannot modify a metaphorical place such as situation, case.
So is the use of 'where' correct in this case?

'where' is modifying the noun immediately preceding it i.e. "home", which is a place. "where" can modify place.
B is correct:
more..than
"twice as likely" is better than "double as likely"
to live etc... || to live etc..
||ism is maintained for the tense as well: Simple Present || Simple Present:: Black children "are" || than white children (are)--hidden ellipsis.

The issue here is not about the use of where. The relative pronoun is used in all the choices correctly relating to home, which indeed is a real place and not metaphoric . Therefore, should you try to create an error when it is not there?
The correct choice should be decided upon other factors. That, I think fluke has already done it.
