Answer

The prices will not rise by more than another four percent.  So "B" is correct.  The following sentence also mean the exact same thing but it omits one of the words in "B":
The prices will not rise more than another four percent.

The "by" is understood as part of the action of rising.

Answer

rise + by --- that is the rule

Prices rose by one percent last month. They'll rise by ANOTHER 2 percent next month.

another = further
