Option (E).
The the subject should be plural as the sentence is referring to multiple objects. 'their', 'bodies' etc.

Sent from my Pixel using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

Option (e) is wrong as the subject starts with a plural Noun Women goes on with a plural pronoun "their skin" but it then says "her hair" & "her body" which is a singular. SO its a mismatch.. Hope that helps...

In 19th Century Rochester upper middle class woman protected their skin while having their hair washed by covering their bodies with pumice and lavender.

A. woman protected their skin while having their hair washed by covering their bodies
B. woman protected her skin while having her hair washed by covering her body
C. woman protected their skin while having their hair washed by covering their bodies
D. women protected her skin while having her hair washed by covering her body
E. women protected their skin while having her hair washed by covering her body

B is right .
Subject woman is singular so the verb pronoun her needs to be singular.

C. woman protected their skin while having their hair washed by covering their bodies
D. women protected her skin while having her hair washed by covering her body
E. women protected their skin while having her hair washed by covering her body

B is right as it is a simple case of subject verb agreement .
Subject woman is singular so the verb her needs to be singular.

Her is a pronoun, not a verb... Please take a note of the same..

Experts,

Shouldn't there be a comma after the 'In 19th century' in A.

Though A is the answer for obvious reasons. I would like to get more insight on the use of comma.
