I feel this is the right answer, (I am not a professional, this is my review).
Do the roses in your garden smell.
More sweet/sweeter (if you mention "sweeter", more doesn't suit the sentence).
Then those in ours?

When should we use 'than that of those in ours'?

Double comparatives are not allowed.

Why we should not use sweetly.

We can never use comparative degrees for both the words. There's nothing like MORE SWEETER.
It's just sweeter.
It's just sweeter.

The answer is D, No error.
A-> Here the subject is roses because this is a compound sub example. So the main sub is the word just before the preposition in.
B-> more sweetly is correct. Here more sweetly used as an adverb of manner.
C-> those in ours is correct because that rose is plural so those and ours means smell in our garden.

@Rags is right.
It should be "more sweet" rather than "more sweeter".
It should be "more sweet" rather than "more sweeter".

I believe the error is in A as well as in B. In 'A' "let" can replace "do" and in B, 'sweeter' can replace "more sweetly"

When we make a comparison between two objects we use comparative form. So sweeter is the answer.
