Compound Sentence wording

a. Children and adults did not experience falls differently, but proportionate to their total size.

b. Children and adults did not experience falls differently, but do experience falls proportionate to their total size.

c. Children and adults did not experience falls differently, but experience falls proportionate to their total size.

Which do you prefer? I feel a is most concise, but is slightly less clear as a result.

Thanks

Hi, I agree with you about A. B is pretty good. But why are you saying 'did' followed by 'do', instead of 'do' in both parts?

Thank you. 'Did' should be 'do' in both parts in all versions, sorry.
