Q:Which is right of the two in the setence?
Is it a matter to answer the question from the test?

It's from a listening test. The original question and answer are below:

(A) Max is much smaller than Casey. (B) Casey is fatter than a pig.
(C) Casey is bigger than Mary. (D) Casey is smaller than a pig.
The answer is (A)

Thank you

"as big as a small pig" is correct in that sentence. It fits with "Casey is bigger than....".
