The earnings of the female workers are well below that of male workers in spite of educational differences that are diminishing between the sexes.

A. well below that of male workers in spite of educational differences that are diminishing
B. much below that of male worker's despite educational differences diminishing
C. much below male workers in spite of diminishing educational differences
D. well below those of male workers in spite of diminishing educational differences
E. below male workers despite their educational differences that are diminishing

IMO correct answer is D

The earnings of the female workers are well below that of male workers in spite of educational differences that are diminishing between the sexes.

A. well below that of male workers in spite of educational differences that are diminishing - Pronoun agreement error - "that" refers back to a plural noun, "The earnings" - Incorrect
B. much below that of male worker's despite educational differences diminishing - changed meaning due to unnecessary possiveness - Incorrect
C. much below male workers in spite of diminishing educational differences- Incorrect comparison, "The earnings of the female ..." is compared with "male workers"...
D. well below those of male workers in spite of diminishing educational differences - Correct - agreement & parallelisim maintained.
E. below male workers despite their educational differences that are diminishing - Incorrect comparison, "The earnings of the female ..." is compared with "male workers"...
