I have one problem with OA as 'A' it was never said that in the option A women entered in both the accountants,etc., and teachers ,etc., profession at the same number
without that we can't assume that women entered in both types of profession
It is mentioned in the stimulus:
In the past, teachers, bank tellers, and secretaries were predominantly men; these occupations slipped in pay and status when they became largely occupied by women. Therefore, if women become the majority in currently male-dominated professions like accounting, law, and medicine, the income and prestige of these professions will also drop.
I still feel that OA is E.
I was disappointed to see OA as A as I can't relate the answer to it. but felt better when I saw posts which states that OA as E

A does not state that women entered those fields at about the same time as the pay and status of teacher, etc. slipped. E looks right to me. Yes the passage does not mention anything about social and economic structure; however, it is an "assumption" question. In questions like this, you must bring external information from the answer choice to support or undermine a conclusion. If the social and economic structures govering the job fields are different, "the income and prestige of these professions will also drop" may not be justified.
