b. an older one
c.the older
d.the old one
d. 'the old one' is correct.
a - the old what?
b - could be any of the previous versions
c - just doesn't work. We are comparing 'new one with something ('old one'). You could compare the 'newer' with the 'older' in another context.

Oxford Advanced Learned"s Dictionary(7th Edition) is quite similar to the one answered.The example in the first definition under the
headword "compare" is:
We carefully compared the first report with the second.
Hi,
Could you tell me why the word "one" is not added after "the second"?
Is the sentence self-explanatory?
Thanks.
With best wishes.
The following carry the same meaning.
The older version is better than the newer.
The old version is better than the new one.
