A
JetStream and its new plane
B
its competitor, JetStream

Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The sentence compares "legroom" (singular attribute) to the legroom of the competitor. "That of" correctly substitutes for "legroom."
Choice A is incorrect because it compares "legroom" to a "company." Choice B is incorrect because it compares "legroom" to a "company." Choice D is incorrect because it compares "legroom" to a "company."
