The 'in' is not for 'except in', but rather than for 'in the domains'.

Check sentences from Longman:

No legislation prohibits it, except in certain circumstances.
This essential motion can not take place except in a liquid medium.

At the beginning of a sentence, always use except for, not just except.
examples:
Everyone's going except Donald.
Except for a small part in an obscure movie years ago, Depardieu had never before acted in an English-language picture.

顶一下，还是不明白。我是觉得这二个选项，好像都通？

D is excepting. It'd be correct if it's "but except for"

except需要前后一致嘛？？？

比如这句in the domains of administration and teaching 和the English language

hmm..."except"會要求前後有可比性/同類
可是這題是except in
the English language...(except) in the domains of administration and teaching
用in不用for的原因是something in the domain of something是一個固定的配搭
