'Greater Financial resource' is surely more prominent compared to 'more financial resource'. but in this context, in sync with the other part of the sentence, i somehow feel more is better.

My choice is E

Isn't the rule of thumb to use greater only when comparing straight numbers and percents, and to use more in other cases?

What was the source of this question?

I picked up B because 'greater' emphasises comparison more clearly than 'more' does; this is in parallel to the comparison followed by not only.
Can somebody elaborate?
S
