the two important splits are:
(a) afforded to vs that favors - In option C and E, relative pronoun "that" refers to accolades which is plural hence "that" should be followed by "favor" and not "favors" - Options C and E are out
(b) have/has - the subject of the sentence is "The difference", so the main verb should be "has" and not 'have'. - options A, B and C are out.
Hence, we are left with Option D.
The sentence with Option D is -
The difference in critical accolades afforded to predominantly male-focused genres of fiction over the predominantly female-focused has been a topic of extensive discussion, for quite some time, in the field of Gender Studies.
Answer D

The difference in critical accolades afforded to genres of fiction that are predominantly male-focused over the predominantly female-focused have been a topic of extensive discussion, for quite some time, in the field of Gender Studies.

The difference in critical accolades..........................has been ........ (Notice, the subject is singular). Hence, choices A, B, and C are out.

(D) afforded to predominantly male-focused genres of fiction over the predominantly female-focused has---->INCORRECT
Erroneous parallelism: what female-focused is compared to male-focused genres of fiction

(E) that favors predominantly male-focused genres of fiction over those that are predominantly female-focused has--->CORRECT
This choice eliminates the error made in choice D.

A - (1) Subject verb issue - Subject "the difference in critical accolades" is singular, therefore "have" a plural verb is incorrect.

B & C - Same issue as A. Incorrect.

D - (1) The meaning of "afforded" is to provide/extend and it seems to be used correctly here but using it for comparison is not correct. Afforded X over Y cannot be the best version of the answer, (2) Comparison issue - Because genres of fiction is not repeated after female focused makes the sentence incomplete and incorrect. Therefore, eliminating option D.

E - (1) Subject verb - "favors" and "has" both are singular verbs matching the singular subject, (2) Comparison - completeness is achieved here because of "those" and the sentence conveys intended meaning. Correct.

Therefore, option E is the correct answer.

A, B, and C are wrong because the singular subject "The difference..." does not agree in number with the plural verb "have."
E is wrong because the relative pronoun "that" replaces the plural noun "accolades", and it does not agree in number with the singular verb "favors."

Answer D

(A) afforded to genres of fiction that are predominantly male-focused over the predominantly female-focused have
difference...have - S-V error
(B) afforded to genres of fiction that are predominantly male-focused over those that are predominantly female-focused have
same as A
(C) that favors predominantly male-focused genres of fiction over the predominantly female-focused have
same as A
(D) afforded to predominantly male-focused genres of fiction over the predominantly female-focused has
Correct! A over B - A and B both are phrases and the meaning is clear
(E) that favors predominantly male-focused genres of fiction over those that are predominantly female-focused has
Changes the meaning - this option says that the "difference" favors "predominantly male-focused...". However, the original sentence means that the "critical accolades" that are afforded/favored

"a topic of extensive discussion" refers to the "the difference in critical accolades", "the difference" is singular.

(A) This sentence reads:- "The diference ..... have been ...." which is wrong, it should be "has been" instead. Also the sentence wrongfully compares "accolades afforded to genres of fiction that are predominantly male-focused" with "accolades
afforded to the predominantly female-focused", which is also wrong, the sentence should have "those that are predominantly female-focused" instead.

(B) This sentence reads:- "The diference ..... have been ...." which is wrong, it should be "has been" instead.

(C) This sentence reads:- "The diference ..... have been ...." which is wrong, it should be "has been" instead. Also similar to sentence (A), there is wrong comparison between:- "accolades that favors predominantly male-focused genres of fiction" with "accolades that favors predominantly female-focused".

(D) This sentence correctly uses "has been" for singular noun "the difference". But it makes mistake similar to sentence (C), there is wrong comparison between:- "accolades that favors predominantly male-focused genres of fiction" with "accolades that favors predominantly female-focused".

(E) This sentence correctly uses "has been" for singular noun "the difference". And the comparison between "accolades that favors predominantly male-focused genres of fiction" with " accolades that favors those that are predominantly female-focused" is correct. Here "those" refers to "genres of fiction" mentioned in earlier sentence. Hence this is the correct option.

IMO

Options A,B,C are incorrect with the deterministic error - has/have
Talking about -----> difference of something - is Singular

Thus option A,B & C are eliminated as they use - Have

B/W option D & E ---> E is wordy and awkward

plus the word over is a parallelism marker hence, the construction before and after it should be parallel.

Hence, my choice is option D

Hope it helps!
