I ended up picking the right answer (B). Confusion about why C isn't tempting. I think the author makes an unreasonable assumption for two concepts: 1) Assumes that the tomb discovered in the region is in fact the largest ever in the region (Which leads to the correct answer). 2) The author assumes that Alexander the Great was in fact buried in Macedonia. The last premise even somewhat indicates that he was well-explored during his conquests. Not sure how its an unreasonable assumption by me to be skeptical of where he was buried.
In that vein, though, I can understand that even if that were the case (he was buried somewhere else) then we have no reason to believe that these other regions would consider him as great as Macedonia did and could possibly put him in an average-sized tomb (as opposed to a larger or largest one). Therefore, we wouldn't care to compare tomb sizes of other regions.
I can understand why B is right, I just thought the explanations for why C was wrong by J.Y. and some live class instructors were inadequate.
