Shouldn't it be B and D. Isn't the idea to 'compare' two sets of data?

The meaning of the sentence is to collect data and compare them to arrive at a certain statistic of the phenomenon.

B means to find a reason. Here, you need to compare data not to find a reason why certain data.

Hope this helps

@carcass
I believe that two correct answer choices should give similar meaning. So i doubt how collate is a synonym to juxtapose?

You are perfectly right.

I checked the answers and they are correct. However, the question is wrong.

We are talking about contrasting here which is evident from the line:
as only by studying the differences and similarities in results can proper inferences be drawn.
So juxtapose is the perfect fit. There is no other word that matches it or produces the same meaning.

Collate is a good option but juxtapose is not, because by juxtaposing we just put a thing next to other thing, without doing anything else with them. Collate however has a comparing part in it.
