It means that "this" box is equal to 2 (two) "that" boxes. 2xthat box = 1xthis box. So it won't be A anyway. IMHO it's B, and Harregarre don't confuse people and don't destroy your own brain! I mean don't overthink it - it's easy ^_^!

B.

This is a Chinese college English exam question, which is done by Chinese teachers most of the time. And I think the way for Chinese teachers to evaluate the students' English should be changed asap.

The statement is not good English to begin with. "This box is twice heavier than that one" doesn't really make sense to a native speaker of English. Most would probably agree that the intention of the writer was answer B.
