Remove the clutter to get to the core , Thus the reduced stem : Investment in ethanol is so risky, and for some investors even riskier than what hydrogen fuel cells are predicted to be
Scanning choices B n D : remove the middle portion & reread
B) Investment in ethanol is so risky, Investment in hydrogen fuel cells ( Does this make sense ?)
D) Iinvestment in ethanol is as risky as Investment in hydrogen fuel cells ( Perfect : Investment in X is .......AS RISKY AS........ Investment in Y )
thus D scores over B
Leading to D , my take

grammatical construction is as important as the logical construction , here the investment is under the scope of comparison ;
investment in X is riskier than Investment in Y
NOT
investment in X is riskier than Y
so (D) has this clarity in comparison with correct logical construction and intended meaning.
investment in X is riskier than Investment in Y
NOT
investment in X is riskier than Y
so (D) has this clarity in comparison with correct logical construction and intended meaning.
