Botanists have proven that if plants extended laterally beyond the scope of their root system, they will grow slower than do those that are more vertically contained.
A. extended laterally beyond the scope of their root system, they will grow slower than do
B. extended laterally beyond the scope of their root system, they will grow slower than
C. extend laterally beyond the scope of their root system, they grow more slowly than
D. extend laterally beyond the scope of their root system, they would have grown more slowly than do
E. extend laterally beyond the scope of their root system, they will grow more slowly than do
A. extended laterally beyond the scope of their root system, they will grow slower than do

C. extend laterally beyond the scope of their root system, they grow more slowly than
D. extend laterally beyond the scope of their root system, they would have grown more slowly than do
E. extend laterally beyond the scope of their root system, they will grow more slowly than do
Plant A can grow more slowly than do plant B: both have the capacity to grow
but one is slower than the other. Is my explanation correct?
Also, I applied the "If X then Y" to make a choice. please comment.

Responding to a pm:
These two are distinct ways of using the "If then" condition. Grammatically both are correct but they imply different things.
If A happens, then B happens. - this is a fact. This is how it always happens.
If it rains, the ground gets wet.
If A happens, then B will happen. - B will happen if the condition in A is met.
Now that we have removed the covers, if it rains, the ground will get wet.
In the original question, if plants extend...they grow... - this is what will always happen. It has been proven.
In your question, if the teachers are paid higher wages, the std of education will improve. - the std of education will improve if the condition of higher wages is met.

Yes, the usage of "do" is OK.
Please consider the following sentence:
I run faster than you run... the comparison is between two verbs (I) run and (You) run.
However it is acceptable to either omit the repeated verb or replace it with "do" in order to avoid repetition. Hence the correct construction could be:
I run faster than you do. (do replacing run)
I run faster than you. (run omitted altogether)
The former is preferred in GMAT.
