Why did the writer choose to compare the master“s programs rather than the bachelor“s programs?

A
解析:根据文章第三段"I chose to present a master's degree comparison here because the short two-year study period makes it simpler than comparing a four-year program"可知，作者选择选择硕士学位作对比的原因是，两年课程的对比相对于四年课程的对比较简单些，这里指的是课程的对比相对简单，而不是课程相对简单，C选项是迷惑选项，A选项符合题意。故选A。
