IMO C
The word more is a comparative adjective and should always be followed by than.
Only C and E has More than. E is out cause, He had...candidate is an independent clause and a comma is not enough to add another independent clause to it.

Official Explanation
Creating a filter: the original sentence includes two independent clauses without a conjunction, which would go between "candidate" and "Ross," so the sentence is a run-on. Choice (A) is out. We can start with the other answer choices by evaluating subject and verb.
Applying the filter: choice (B) fixes the error in (A) but uses the awkward word "being" unnecessarily. Choice (C) sounds good. Choice (D) has a defect in the phrase "when compared to." The intended meaning does not involve time, so "when" is incorrect, and the comparative "more" should be paired simply with the word "than," as in (C). Choice (E), like (A), is an independent clause that creates a run-on.
The correct answer is (C).
