OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
D
First, you can assume that (A) and (B) are almost certainly wrong, due to the phrase "of there being". "Being" is almost always incorrect. (E) also has a major flaw: "figurative significance" means something very different from "significantly figured".
The key difference between (C) and (D) is "of" versus "that there were". While "of" is shorter, whatever follows a phrase like "support the notion" must be a complete sentence. (D) connects "the notion" to the complete sentence starting with "there were many women. . ." with the word "that". (C) does not, so (D) is correct.
