E is the only one which makes sense since it compares pay and wages. All other flouts the rule of comparision.

Okay, typical comparison question,

Here you compare 2 things and one of them if outside the underlined portion (wages of other salaried workers). Hence we need to find a like quantity to compare wages to: only E makes a like comparison (compares pay of senior ex to wages of other workers)
