C. I don't think so. This option is the correct answer. It is grammatically correct and provides a clear response to the statement. The phrase "I don't think so" conveys the user's disagreement with the statement that most restaurants are too expensive.

D. I don't think as it. This option is grammatically incorrect. The phrase "I don't think as it" does not make sense in the context and does not provide a clear response to the statement.
