(C) is the answer IMO
Black officers at the executive rank of general or admiral, of whom there are over seventy in the armed services, have not, until recently, been present in comparable numbers, either in amount or proportion, among high executives in major corporations.
Let us get rid of adverbial phrases and modifiers :
Black officers at the executive rank of general or admiral have not been present in comparable numbers, either in amount or proportion, among high executives in major corporations.
Correct version could be : either inamount or in proportion / in either amount or proportion .
Also,
We are comparing the count so using amount is not appropriate.
Issue present in A regarding use of amount persists in B
Black officers have not been matched by Blacks...
Distorts the meaning and retains the issue of using "amount"

Quote:
Parallelism is lost because of missing in before proportion
Correct version could be : either in
Also,
We are comparing the count so using amount is not appropriate.
Quote:
Now we have adverbs which can not modify numbers + redundancy
Issue present in A regarding use of amount persists in B
Quote:
Parallelism is gained and amount is replaced with numbers - Keep
Quote:
Black officers have not been matched by Blacks...
Distorts the meaning and retains the issue of using "amount"
Quote:
Distorts meaning: proportions of blacks - that's not the comparison that author intends to do
