In A, which cannot be used to refer to people. Eliminate A.

Of the remaining answers, only C makes a logical and parallel comparison, comparing what happens IN Hungary to what happens IN much of Eastern Europe. The sentence is saying that, IN BOTH PLACES, an overwhelming proportion of women WORK. Eliminate B, D and E.

The correct answer is C.

In the OA, many of them in middle management and light industry is an absolute phrase. For the definition of an absolute phrase, check my post here:
