A few things are quite clear here : Two comparators "more than" and "as much as" and both should be complete. It is clear "more ..than" is complete in non-underline part, so part of "as" of "as much" is what we are looking for. So option A & E is out.
Out of B C D, pronoun it is referring to noun "energy" while what we are interested is in "amount of energy" so B And D out too. We are left with C and the OA

Wrong use of the idiom "as much as".
Quote:
Wrong, because the "as" is followed by a subject pronoun "it". Putting a noun after "as" is confusing by suggesting functional comparison or by turning the "as" into the subordinating conjuntor; here with the possible meaning of "because". For more about that aspect of using "as" see: Manhattan SC, p. 144.
Quote:
Correct, because the verb "was" after the "as" eliminates the confusion described under B). Correct idiom form is used too. One may suspect wordiness here, but the sentence is very clear, isn't it? I seldom go for patterns in 700+ problems.

Wrong for the same reason as B).

Incorrect use of the idiom "as much as".

Let us replace "more than ten times" with eleven times.
The sentence fragment now reads: Eleven times as much energy is generated through wind power now ...
"As much energy" needs "as" to complete it, as otherwise one is not sure how much energy was actually generated. So A and E are out.
Now notice that B and D differ only in the placement of "now". Although ideally the adverb should follow the verb, the rules are not strict. So you could eliminate both B and D, as the GMAT cannot have two correct answers.
B would be preferred as its construction is parallel with the last part of the sentence.
But, B and D have another issue. Both use the ambiguous "it".
One way to disambiguate this construction would be to reorganise the sentence:
Eleven times as much energy (as was generated in 1990 through wind power) is generated through wind power now.
"It" cannot be used to refer to the entire expression in parentheses.
So the answer must be C.
