b/w B and C... I can't see and copy and paste... so kind of hard to memorize the answers and explain them... is there any way to just copy the text???

at the end of the sentence we see, "which weigh"... so the previous coins should "weigh" too... so can't use "weight"
I believe this eliminates A D and E??? again.. can't see

B says "more as a substitute than the dollar bill..." not parallel

C is correct... and parallel as a substitute for 4 quarters more than for a dollar bill... it weighs..., which weigh...
everything I was looking for

A is also parallel.
Why is C more correct than A??

I agree with C.. But isn't "it" refer to dollar bill ?? Somehow this threw me off the track .. :)

Good analysis U2lover..I could narrow donw to B and C and chose B because of "more..than". But after seeing the OA, it kind of makes sense because "substitute...for" in C idiomatic which is missing in B.

Note for self: Review
