I am posting for the first time and also am new to GMAT, so pardon me if i make a mistake.
I think C is the right answer. We are talking about Couple's Retirement transitions. Here " more than when retiring " correctly refers and modifies "marital satisfaction"
A is wrong because it compares "couples' retirement transitions " with other couples whereas the sentence suggest that "marital satisfaction" is changed for the same couple when they switch job.
Hope that helps.
Regards

No you're right. I don't know why I misread it. Maybe that's the reason for the bad scores! =Pgoelmohit2002 wrote:Are u sure abt OA ?

Yea - you're right, it is A. I'm really sorry about that - it was unintentional and is regrettable.
