I think the answer is C. We can eliminate A and D because they have the passive construction "problems faced by rural migrant workers" B and E both have an ambiguous pronoun. It's unclear what they refers to. C fixes both of these issues

ur OA is wrong...
the above phrase need "was" after comma than "iS" it's in past tense...
In assesing is for present ....use of "is" is corect..

Have you wondered how you could have found such a treasure? -T
I found out a better explanation in beatthegmat itself. Please follow the link.

For lazy asses, here is the explanation posted by tacosychelas -
In assessing the problems faced by rural migrant workers, the question of whether they are better off materially than the urban working poor is irrelevant.
(A) In assessing the problems faced by rural migrant workers, the question of whether they are better off materially than the urban working poor is irrelevant. Wrong because "a question" cannot assess a problem
(B) The question of whether the rural migrant worker is better off materially than the urban working poor is irrelevant in assessing the problems that they face. Wrong because "they" has no referent
(C) A question that is irrelevant in assessing the problems that rural migrant workers face is whether they are better off materially than the urban working poor. Wrong because the comparison of worker to worker is not parallel: they vs an urban working poor
(D) In an assessment of the problems faced by rural migrant workers, the question of whether they are better off materially than the urban working poor is irrelevant.
(E) The question of whether the rural migrant worker is better off materially than the urban working poor is irrelevant in an assessment of the problems that they face. Wrong because "They" has no referent
