[spoiler] I got the correct answer however I cannot see what is problem with C. Please let me know if it is wrong grammatically (except conciseness)

IMO B.

Point here is to draw the right comparison between the [number of females] to [number of males.]

[number of females] to [number of males enrolled in medical program.] is wrong comparison.

This error exists in A,C,D

Equal and Equivalent are different terms.

Equal = two things are exactly equal
equivalent = two things are approximately similar/equal

So E shifts the meaning slightly. There might be other errors also with E. Cant recognise at present.

Pick B.
