“Like” is used to compare nouns:
Like India, Pakistan shares a border with China.
Here two nouns (India and Pakistan) are being compared.
The sentence starts with “In Hungary” instead of “Hungary,” therefore Options D and E can be eliminated.
In this sentence, we are comparing two actions – The women working in Hungary and the women working in much of Eastern Europe.
“As” needs to be used when we are comparing actions. Therefore, the answer can be Options A, B or C.
Option A uses “many if which.” “Which” is used to modify things. Since we are talking of women, “which” cannot be used. Option A can be eliminated.
The sentence begins with “In Hungary.” In this case, if the comparison needs to be parallel, we need to say “as in much of Eastern Europe.” Option B say “as with much of Eastern Europe.” Option B can be eliminated.
This leaves us with Option C as the answer.
