"burn as much as 30 percent less fuel" -- one action
We need another action to compare using "than".
"do gasoline engines"--- another action...
C is the correct answer.
A is incorrect because it uses a noun i.e " that burned by gasoline engines" after than.
Before "than" one action is there . So after "than" also another action should be there.
