The OA is B.
Even I had picked C.
No OE given, can anyone justify B as the right answer?

It cant be C. Who is "their" referring to?
In this case "their" is referring to the Blue Collar's pay when it should be referring to the CEO's pay.
Improper referent.

c) correct as their has correct referent blue-collar workers
D) A CEO’s who now earn -- WRONG CHANGES MEANING
E) CEO’s now earning - wrong tense
