Option A is out for lack of clarity. It should be – cuts were made in. Eliminate
We can hold on to B and C right now. They look somewhat alike, so we can keep this for later.
Eliminate D and E for the wrong use of like.
Option C can be eliminated now for the use of those in. The intent here is that cuts were made to a category called nonsalary compensation such as allowances (for two things) – overseas assignments and club memberships.
Option B is the right answer – right use of preposition in and such as.
Hope this helps!
