this is to be parrell with CEO's now ear 419 times the pay of blue collar workers, because "as compared to" requires parallell structure and expression. "their pay" parallells with "the pay of blue worker", and "the ratio" is added to introduce "in 1980" to avoid confusion.

除了楼上说的as compare to的比较原因,B选项还有一个大的错误在于:a ratio that compares to 42 times,a ration怎么可能主动compares呢,最差也应该改为a ration that was compared to 42 times...;

that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times

偶原来也错选了A,现在看来错在:
1、earn an average of ……,不是原文的intended meaning,CEO's 不是挣一个平均数,而是平均而言,他们挣蓝领工人的419倍;
2、, compared to a ratio 在这里只能认为是PP修饰前面最近的名词 blue-collar workers。
3、419 time more pay than blue-collar workers,所以比较的对象是pay和blue-collar workers,不对等。

一点个人理解,不知对否……

B项的 a ratio 是一个同位语。但是这个ratio并没有很明显和合理的先行词~~不知道这样理解对不对
