Here is a quickie without even reading the question. Please note in compariosns,' more likely than' is a must
(A) for married women with children under eighteen it was more likely that they would work different shifts from their husbands --- 'more likely than' is a must. --"than" is missing
(B) for married women whose children were under eighteen, they were more likely than other married women to work shifts different from their husbands' ----Can't say whether the pronoun 'they' refers to the married working women, or their children or even the entire lot of working women.
(C) when married women had children under eighteen it was more likely for them to be working different shifts from those of their husbands' --- more likely than is a must. --"than" is missing.
(D) that married women with children under eighteen were more likely than other married women to work shifts different from their husbands' --- Simple and straight --- The word 'other' espouses a valid comparison between two groups. The correct answer.
(E) that when married women had children under eighteen they were more likely to be working shifts that differed from their husbands ----- wrong comparison and more likely than is a must. ---"than" is missing

The survey has found two things and these two need to be parallel so we need to repeat the 'that'. So we are down to D and E. E incorrectly compares 'women's shifts' with their 'husbands' (instead of with their 'husband's shifts'). Thus D is the correct answer.
