sure..tq for asking:
In the original sentence, much incorrectly references the quantity of female graduate students. Students are countable, so many is the correct term. Additionally, as 1981 incorrectly completes the comparison, illogically comparing the number of people (the 198,113 female science and engineering graduate students) to a year (1981).
(C) CORRECT. Double the figure places the emphasis on the number of female graduate students, and correctly completes the comparison between the number of people in one year (198,133 in 2003) and the number of people in another year (the figure for 1981). (D) What it was is wordy, awkward, and unclear. The singular pronoun "it" has no clear antecedent.

Note as a noun in sentence 1 means distinction; repute.
In sentence 2, it implies a tone of voice.
In sentence 3 the word means to show or indicate; record or preserve in writing.
Sentence 4 incorrectly uses the idiom striking the right note. The sentence conveys the opposite meaning- it should have the idiom striking a false note instead.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
