NOTHING in that sentence is happening in the same timeframe as "placing women...".
that placement is something that won't occur until well after everything else in the sentence -- many many years after these women are students.
since the __ing modifier doesn't share a timeframe with ANYTHING in the sentence ... it's wrong!

-ING modifiers don't have a tense. they automatically adopt the tense of the clause to which they're attached.
E: incorrect. "which" can't modify the preceding sentence
C: wrong. the relative pronoun 'which' is placed in a position where it must refer to 'women'. this is wrong for 2 reasons: (a) 'which' can't refer to people, (b) according to the sentence, women don't place themselves in leadership positions; the trend does.
