Got some splits here

"work" and "works"

"as in" and "like"

Usage of like is not correct, eliminate D and E

A B C

Option A has wrong usage of which. "Which" cannot refer to women here

B and C


here we are comparing "women working in Hungary" to "women working in rest of Europe" and not with "Europe" per se. Also "works" is wrong usage

hence C

but somehow I feel if there would have been "many of whom work in"

1. One should read the comparison:
In Hungary, an overwhelming proportion of women.... AS in much of Eastern Europe/LIKE much of EE

therefore AS is the right usage. Eliminate D and E.

2. an overwhelming proportion of women work/works :
When deciding the subject verb agreement of a quantity phrase, the of - phrase is the subject. So plural "women" goes with "work". Eliminate B

3. A uses "which" incorrectly.

Therefore 'C' is the best choice.

The rules:
- "Like" has to be used only when speaking about NOUN and Hypothetical Situations
- "which", being a pronoun, can refer to Things and Species... NOT HUMANS
So, Eliminate D, E & A
B has SVA Error; we need "work" and not "works". Eliminate B.
Answer: C

PS: In Hungary"--> Means that you are referring something in Hungary... So, not exactly a Noun.
