OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

Answer: B.

The sentence requires a comparison between workers in the United States and workers in France. Choices A and E are therefore incorrect. Choices C and D change the meaning of the sentence by making it appear as if the workers imposed the law.

Hello  thakurrani81 ,

We hope this finds you well.

To clear up any confusion on this point, please keep in mind that the verb "enjoy" can also be used to convey that something or someone has access to something positive.

For example: "John enjoys a significant advantage over most of the competition."

We hope this helps.
All the best!
