than, infinitive

It is safer for you to stay home than ___ out.

(A) going (B) to go (C) go (D) goes

The give answer is B, but I think choice C is also correct. Am I right?
  

Top answer

I completely agree - I would choose B for the parallelism with "to stay" but simply "go" is not incorrect. But remember, if they ask for "the best" there is one answer that is better. If they ask for "the correct answer" then this is a flawed question.
