IMO A

 

(A) that pay be the same for jobs historically held by women as for jobs requiringcomparable skill that are – CORRECT. “requires that” is the correct usage

(B) that pay for jobs historically held by women should be the same as for a job requiring comparable skills – WRONG . wrong comparison – jobs held by women to a job and also “comparable skills usually held by men” is illogical

© to pay the same in jobs historically held by women as in jobs of comparable skill that are – WRONG.

(D) to pay the same regardless of whether a job was historically held by women or is one demanding comparable skills - WRONG

(E) to pay as much for jobs historically held by women as for a job demanding comparable skills - WRONG
