D for me.
D in a way proves that number of women at senior and junior executive level is low because there are fewer number of women in the company then men.

E is too broad, it does not include information whether rejected applicants were men or women

C, again only partially explains the situation. The ratio of senior executives is 20:1.and for juniors it 40:5. It explains the reason for higher number of junior women executives but does not explain the ratio of senior women executives.
