we cannot infer that in 1965 women made 1/3 of the labor force. There's no data to represent that, answer is A
If in 60 there were 33.4%, it is clearly visible that in 65 the rates have increased. so we can safely assume, that women made up more than 1/3 of labor force.

Don't know why the OE is A. I think it should be D.

In the real world we infer from incomplete data all the time.

The absence of data for 1965 doesn't mean that data is absent from which to draw a logical inference.

Interpolating between data points could be reasonable, which would be the only way III could be supported.

But 1960 just meets the requirement and all it would take is for the percentage increase in males in the workforce to slightly exceed that of the females for the apparent trend to temporarily reverse.

Yes, I see the problem now. I mistake numbers for rates. Thanks for making this clear.
