According to the National Science Foundation, in 2003 there were 198,113 female science and engineering graduate students, almost 42% of the graduate students in those fields, twice as much as 1981.
A twice as much as 1981
B twice as many as 1981
C double the figure for 1981
D double what it was in 1981
E a number double that of 1981’s

What does "twice as much as 1981" refer to .Does it refer to 42% or to 198,113

[spoiler]C

I think it refers to the number of female i.e. 198,113

the problem with this option is it compares the figure with 1981.
It shud have been right... if... it says..

twice as many as in 1981....

"twice as many as IN 1981" should have been the correct answer here. but we do not have that as an option.

the only option that has "..in 1981" is option D, but i think the use of pronoun "it" makes it awkward because "it" does not have a clear antecedent.

Options A (unidiomatic), B(absence of "in") and E(awkward) are incorrect.

I would go for option C.

what is the OA ?

Just do it,
In my opinion what maked D incorrect is the missing "of"
double of what it was in 1981
