A recently concluded study indicates that the earnings of women employed in white-collar jobs continue to fall far behind men employed in similar jobs, because they make an average of almost $6,000 a year less at the start of their careers and nearly $20,000 less a year by the time they reach the age of 40.

Comparison question:
Comparison between the earnings of women & men employed in white-collar jobs
But in the question : earnings of women is being compared to men instead of earnings of men / men's earnings
"earnings of women employed in white-collar jobs continue to fall far behind men employed in similar jobs.
This comparison is improper. So, option A & B are incorrect.
Again in Option C, awkward construction of the sentence. Too wordy due to use of word "less" twice. Less word is redundant as we already have "continue to fall" which means to decrease.
Option D & E corrects the error of comparison of Earnings to men. Both options states- Earnings of women to those of men " which is correct comparison. But in option E, "less" word is used which is redundant as we already have "continue to fall" which means to decrease. Also, in option E, words -nearly & almost are interchanged vis-a-vis question stem.
So, option D is the right answer.
