I am taking a chance here..I will go for 'B'. It is more on the usage 'requires of'

It wont be nice to post OA so soon, before others have tried. However, you may give your explanation for choosing C... I will appreciate that

well, here is my thought.
Legislation in the Canadian province of Ontario requires of both public and private employers that pay be the same for jobs historically held by women as for jobs requiring comparable skill that are usually held by men.
(A) that pay be the same for jobs historically held by women as for jobs requiring comparable skill that are
(B) that pay for jobs historically held by women should be the same as for a job requiring comparable skills
--surely not correct: because of 'should'
(C) to pay the same in jobs historically held by women as in jobs of comparable skill that are
(D) to pay the same regardless of whether a job was historically held by women or is one demanding comparable skills
--regardless of whether I think is redundant. It is better to say: to pay the same whether a job was historically......
(E) to pay as much for jobs historically held by women as for a job demanding comparable skills
----jobs vs job. I think both should be singular or plural.
I had to choose between (A) and (C). Close call. I chose (C) because I thought I read somewhere 'requires of X to Y'. But I think I am wrong.

"required to"
You are required to (verb). Example - You are required to go to the dining hall at noon. You are required to fill out all applications thoroughly.
"require/requires that" Example - A decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they declare the causes for the separation. Requires that (subject).

Going with A because C sounds awkward... "jobs requiring comparable skill" sounds much better than "jobs of comparable skills".
OG says there are two idioms of requires:
requires that x (be) y
requires x to (be) y
(be) stands for verb of being

After "requires of employers" we have to have a "that"... (if we had "require employers" we could use a "to").
So it's between A and B.
I think what differentiates these two is
requires that they do
requires that they should do
and I just think that the former construction seems better.
Answer (A)

i'll go for C. here is the idiomatic expressions:
requires that AB
or
requires A to B.
In this question, we already have the A, therefore "to" is required. Out of C, D, and E, C makes the most sense.
what's the OA?

Is it not that in 'A' 'as' is used to compare nouns .
In 'b' 'same as' is used to do the same

You hit the bulls Eye... OA is A
The relevant patterns are:
to be required to ...
to require someone to ...
to require of someone that ...
so its the last one in this case...

Choice A is best. In choice B, should is illogical after requires, or at least unnecessary, and so is better omitted; in choices B and E, job does not agree in number with jobs; and in choices B, D, and E, the wording illogically describes the comparable skills rather than the jobs as being "usually held by men". Choices C, D, and E produce the ungrammatical construction requires of...employers to pay, in which of makes the phrase incorrect. In C, the use of in rather than for is unidiomatic, and jobs of comparable skill confusedly suggests that the jobs rather than the workers possess the skills. In D, the phrase beginning regardless...is awkward and wordy in addition to being illogical.
