My take:
a) incorrect comparison. the word "unlike" signals comparison. in this sentence, they are comparing the low status accorded to women from America West to Native American women
b) The placement of the noun modifier "whose" is incorrect - seems to be modifying America West - when it should be modifying the women settlers
c) Incorrect comparison
d) correct comparison -- craftwork of women from America West is compared to "that of" north american women
e) incorrect comparison -- indicated by "while"

My answer is D. OA is B.
