Two elements connected by a coordinate conjunction should be expressed in parallel form.
Only A, the best choice, correctly observes this rule (the most popular major for women as well as for men).
B, C, D, and E omit the necessary/or in the second element.
In addition, by using the simple coordinate conjunction and, C, D, and E create the illogical impression that the decision of 28 percent of the women entering college in 1985 to
choose business as a major also made the major the most popular among men.
The conjunction as well as implies that business had already been the most popular major for men and that in 1985, for the first time, it became the most popular major for both sexes.

You need women as well as men.
A should be it.
If we use men AND women, then the sentence means that those 28%of the women who chose business made the business a major for both the groups...
As well as says that it was already a major for men and 28% women after enrolling in the program, made a major for women.
B uses THE MEN... which is wrong comparison.
