C RenCo has significantly more employees than Garnet has
D RenCo’s employees are unlikely to have higher cholesterol levels than Garnet’s employees

文章说明  G省钱的原因在于  这些病如果几年之后发作治疗起来会很昂贵  
那么如果  R的员工留在R的时间少于这些病会发作的时间    就说明 R并没有这种激励去为员工提供care

About A, we can have two kinds of different understandings about this sentence.

First, the sentence means that the early treatment is so meaningless that the patient still suffer a death. In this way, we consider A is an irrelevant options.

Second, this sentence possibly means that early treatment does not eliminate the possibility that company needs to pay for the expensive high cholesterol treatment.  However, this meaning may be opposite to the premise in the argument, which says that G company can save a large amount of money because G does not need to pay the expensive treatment.
