bourgeois culture

In bourgeois culture, where it is considered that running a machine is less noble than to be a lawyer or a metaphysician, parents often make great sacrifices to put their children through secondary school and college.

(A) where it is considered that running a machine is less noble than to be a lawyer or a metaphysician
(B) where it is considered more noble to be a lawyer or a metaphysician than to run machines
(C) which consider that running machines is less noble than to be a lawyer or a metaphysician
(D) which considers it more noble to be a lawyer or a metaphysician than running machines
(E) considering it more noble being a lawyer or a metaphysician than to run a machine

[spoiler]OA is B. Can anyone say is the usage of 'where' after 'culture' correct?[/spoiler]

I will go with B.

Use of where here is correct. "more...than" is correctly used in B

In bourgeois culture, (1 where it is considered more noble to be a lawyer or a metaphysician than to run machines /2 which considers it more noble to be a lawyer or a metaphysician than to run machines) parents often make great sacrifices to put their children through secondary school and college.

out of above two choices, which one will be better? is 'where' not used to refer a place? somebody may explain please.
