Could you please explain concept of lower than. When can it be used? Why is it wrong in option D when costs is countable?
I am confused between C and D.

Hello waytowharton,
Hope you are doing well. I will be glad to help you with this query.
The phrase "lower than" is used for countable nouns. The phrase "less than" is used for uncountable nouns. The noun "costs" is an uncountable noun. We cannot say a commodity has 1 cost, 2 costs, etc. Therefore, Choice C is the correct answer to this official question. Also, for the word "percent", we use "less than".
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

here direct costs is plural, so any thing singular such as " a lower sum"

We addressed this point in an earlier post (https://gmatclub.com/forum/even-though- ... l#p2432151), and there are several other good posts earlier in the thread. If you are still confused after reading through everything here, let us know! I am confused between C and D.
