B. The renowned Masai warriors of Kenya are among the world's tallest people, with an average height over six feet, several inches taller than that of most other countries of the world.
Problems with B.
1. 'That' may erroneously refer to the average height of most other countries as the modifier phrase does have a ready antecedent. Then the comparison is between warriors and most other countries.
2. If 'that' is referring to the warriors, then a plural 'those' should have been used, lest we should mistake that most other countries have only one warrior each or even more weirdly, most other countries have all put together only one warrior.
