A woman is four to six times more likely to touch another woman in a social conversation than a man
A. A woman is four to six times more likely to touch another woman in a social conversation than a man (here "than a man" is creating ambiguity regarding whether the women is likely to touch a woman more than a man or a woman is likely to touch woman more than a man would touch to a man) (2 meanings) (INCORRECT)
B. In a social conversation, a woman is four or six times more likely to touch another woman as a man does a man (more-than is a comparison idiom which is to be followed whenever one is comparing two entities. Here More - Than idiom is falling apart) INCORRECT
C. During a social conversation, a woman is four to six times more likely than a man to touch another woman (Changing meaning, man is to touch another man or woman?) INCORRECT
D. A woman is four to six times more likely to touch another woman in a social conversation than a man would another man (Correctly stating whether a man would touch another man or women) CORRECT
E. A woman is four to six times more likely to touch another woman in a social conversation than a man would (Man would touch a woman or a man?) (Ambiguous) INCORRECT

This is weird one. I understood the grammar but was having a hard time figuring out what the intent of the sentence was supposed to be.
Are they comparing likelihood of a woman touching another woman vs man touching woman? woman touching woman vs woman touching man? woman touching woman vs man touching man? I did get the correct answer, but, for instance, C also seems grammatically correct and is a plausible interpretation of the of the original sentence's intent
