I think the use of "with" is incorrect. D and E are out.

Whose murals refers to the women's murals. So "their geometrical ..." must refer to the murals and not to the women.
Also, I think that "vary among women and houses" is incorrect in this case. B is out.

There is a parallelism issue in C. "Whose murals ...," "their geometrical ..,," and "they are ..." seem to be referring back to the women. So C is out.

My answer is A.

POE and got to A ..

Also, the sentence has to start with "Whose" since we are referring to the women. And second condition is where we need to maintain parallelism between woman and house.

Good Question.
