Discrimination in wages paid in X over Y....
Sounds awkward to me. Is it really a good way to express that the discrimination favors x over y?

The flaw in D is very basic. It says - wages that favors-, a singular verb for the plural wages
Of course, there may be arguments that - favors - stands for
the entire phrase - discrimination in wages and therefore the singular verb is justified. The right diction for such intent will be - discrimination in wages favouring –
Secondly the phrase – predominantly male occupations over those that are predominantly female - can be as effectively expressed as - predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female –
We can dismiss D on these counts. This leaves us with E

Just a side query: Why doesnt 'that' refer to occupations? Why do you see as refering to wages?
That modifies the noun immediately before? Please correct me if I am wrong
