C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. Here, the sentence actually compares Ben Jonson’s dramas to any other dramatist: an illogical comparison. But, the insertion of ‘those of’ completes the comparison. The correct sentence would be: “Ben Jonson’s dramas were different from those of any other dramatists of his era”.
