Despite recent increases in sales and cash flow that have propelled automobile companies' common stocks to new highs, several industry analysts expect automakers, in order to conserve cash, to set dividends more conservatively than they were
A. to set dividends more conservatively than they were
B. to set dividends more conservatively than they have beendid？
C. to be more conservative than they have been in setting dividends
D. that they will be more conservative than they were in setting dividends
E. that they will be more conservative than they have been to set dividends

想请教各位如何分析ABC这三个选项啊？谢谢

My choice is A.

分析如下：
more than/ as many as 等表示比较关系，前后结构要对等。
这样就只有A和B，
B中使用现在完成时表示从过去开始，持续到现在。
题目中比较的就是现在和过去比，用现在完成时会有逻辑错误。

The OA is C, Sorry Liushmh.

从语义上来说，Ａ用的是were  那说明现在已经不这么干了那就不用expect了

从平行的角度上来说，more than前后的动词搭配要一致。A是do和were
  B是do 和 have been                C是be和have been
这里其实不存在楼上说的什么过去和现在对比  事实上要比对的是未来和现在
仔细体会一下

我明白这题是要过去（持续到现在）和将来比较。
那么C选项的have been 就是前者。to be more 就是将来是这样意思吗？
那么按照楼上所说的more than前后的动词搭配要一致，c的 C是be和have been又应该如何理解。
时态学的不好请教
