Pronoun reference

Like their male counterparts, women scientists are above average in terms of intelligence and creativity, but unlike men of science, their female counterparts have had to work against the grain of occupational stereotyping to enter a “man’s world.”

(A) their female counterparts have had to work
(B) their problem is working
(C) one thing they have had to do is work
(D) the handicap women of science have had is to work
(E) women of science have had to work

What is wrong with B?
their should be for women. Do you think there is a doubt with pronouns?

I'm gonna say that the "their" in answer B is ambiguous. Is it referring to the men or the women? You don't necessarily know.

IMO (E) because of parallelism

Unlike X, Y

Note: X and Y should be logical and strucuturally parallel.

Unlike "men of science", "women of science"

Infact, its only E which fits the bill

But unlike men of science, X

There is a comparison of men of science. After the comma, Women is needed for the sentence to be correct.

Choice E.

(A) their female counterparts have had to work
not parallel

(B) their problem is working
illogically refering to men..

(C) one thing they have had to do is work
they illogically refer to men

(D) the handicap women of science have had is to work
handicap women of science: not parallel

(E) women of science have had to work
Correct: Parallel construction

IMO E,
thanks ronniecoleman for the explanation. Had a question.
Is "their" in A and B possessive noun?? if so then it would incorrectly refer to men's women.

thanks
