Sales of the new model exceeded ___ of the previous one by 30 percent.

正解: B) those
The comparison is between 'sales of the new model' and 'the old model's sales'. To avoid repeating the plural noun 'sales', 'those' is used. 'That' replaces a singular noun. 'Them' is an object pronoun and can't take a following modifier like 'of...'. 'This' is a singular demonstrative pronoun.
