Solution

The correct option is D higher / four times that
The correct answer is Option D.
There is comparison being made between the height of 2 mountains. The one that is higher is Mt Blanc because it is 4800 m which is more than 1200 m i.e. the height of Mt. Vesuvius. HIGHER is the comparative degree form of the adjective HIGH.
The height of Mt Blanc is 4 times the height of Mt Vesuvius i.e. 4800 m (height if Mt Blanc) is 4 times 1200 m (height of Mt Vesuvius).
Thus Option D is the correct answer.
