"any other" is the only one appropriate here
(C) as high as, or higher than, those of any other states
This has an appropriate relative pronoun therefore correct.
(A) as high or higher than other states - AS HIGH 'AS' (THE LAST AS IS MISSING)
(B) at least as high as any states ( SOUNDS OKAY AND CONCISE CONVEYING THE WANTED MEANING BY INCLUDING BOTH' AS HIGH AS & HIGHER THAN IN ONE TERM 'ATLEAST AS HIGH AS' . BUT THE ISSUE IS COMPARISON. THE CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENT IS COMPARRED WITH THE STATE RATHER THAN THE STATE'S PAYMENT
(C) as high as, or higher than, those of any other state [CORRECT]
(D) higher than any state’s, or just as high (DOESNT SEEM TO BE BETTER)
(E) higher, or as high as, other states (HIGHER 'THAN' IS MISSING)
