While I did not feel the option B was gramatically incorrect, I rejected option B because in the non underlined portion 'Apple's profits' is the noun but in the underlined portion 'hardware sales' becomes the noun. Whereas, in option D this logic was present.

Hi Vaishali
This comparison / usage is right for a statement like - Unlike X, Y. There is no Unlike here, also B is more concise.
Asides in D, "..profits come from hardware sales in Microsoft" ... could be wrongly construed as " Over 80% of Apple's profits comes from hardware sales, whereas less than 10% of (Apple's) profits come from hardware sales in Microsoft" ... more like sale of Apple hardware in Microsoft. Which is wrong
