The answer is B: You are much more logical than I.

In formal English we keep I/we, when making comparisons, because the pronoun is still considered to be the subject of the verb, even though when the verb has been ommited: "I am not as old as you (are)". However, the use of me/us is more usual in informal English, as in A: than him; in C: as them; in D: than her.

Actually, the correct sentence is the following one "You are much more logical than I".
Think about it as if it was a short version of the sentence

"You are much more logical than I am".: here you couldn't say
"You are much more logical than me am". that's why you also should not say it in the shorter version.
