I do not agree that wage disparity still exists between men and women. Almost all salaried individuals today are paid based on their qualification and experience and not their sex. It is only the lower labour class where the disparity still exists, but this is justified because there are certain tasks requiring physical strength, such as carrying heavy construction material, that can only be performed by men.
If the above statements are true, which of the following is an example of wage disparity on the basis of gender?
(A) A company pays its management trainees, most of whom are females and have just passed out from business schools, a lower salary than it pays to its senior partners, most of whom are males.
(B) A male labourer who does not do any physically taxing work is paid a lower wage than a male labourer who does physically taxing work.
(C) A female employee at a managerial level in a company gets a lower salary than a female employee who has joined the company as a trainee but whose uncle is a partner in the company.
(D) A male labourer who does not do any physical work is paid a higher wage than a female labourer who does not do any physical work.
(E) A male manager working for Company X gets paid a higher salary than does a female manager with similar experience working for Company Z

In this argument, wage disparity between men and women is compared and justified only in lower labour class because of physical strength.
So we have to look for an option in which wage disparity between men and women with respect to physical work is shown. This is done only in Option D.
Therefore D is correct answer.
