Whats wrong with Option A?
Unlike in the other states in the tri-state area, there are no gasoline taxes set by state or local authorities
How is this option having a wrong comparison?

Hi,
Unlike in the other states in the tri-state area, there are no gasoline taxes set by state or local authorities in New Jersey.
Here there are 2 grave errors:
1. Foremost, "like/unlike" shouldn't be followed by a prepositional phrase. They should be followed by a noun/pronoun.
2. Correct version should have been: Unlike the other states in the tri-state area, New Jersey doesn't have gasoline taxes.
So the sentence is not only making invalid comparison but also having wrong structure.
Hope that helps.
