C Correct answer
Explanation

'More strong' rectifies the error of 'stronger'. When two qualities of the same person are compared, the adjective of comparative degree ending with 'er' should not be used. But 'more' should be used before the adjective of positive degree. Here, 'more' is used before the adjective of positive degree 'strong'.
