Here intended meaning is women continuously received support. Since you have 'continuously' means, they started receiving support in past and they are still receiving the support.

We need 'have' and not 'are' or 'receive'. 'are' or 'receive' both change the meaning.

'the unqualified support of labor' is better than 'labor's unqualifying support'

So C is correct

Meaning is also important:

Unqualifying = The opposite of qualifying.

Qualifying = training, serving to make fit or competent; limiting, restricting; attributing particular characteristics or qualities; moderating, modifying.


Unqualified = Giving support without any reservation/condition.

==> A and B are out.

D and E do not convey the meaning consistent with "consistently".

Answer is C.

"Unqualifying" is not a word, just as "advicing" is not a word. Both words sound like a verb that we know, but neither of them is a verb and hence they cannot be used in a participle form.

@Unhusky..can you please explain something about "Advicing"
