Complete answer: In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of comparison. Comparison can be referred to the act of examining resemblances, or the relation based on similarities and differences as well as the qualities that are comparable.
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (a.), ' As glamorous as the other women’s', is correct as it delivers the required meaning and also corrects the grammatical error in the sentence. Using ‘s after ‘women’ indicates the possessive case of their careers.
Option (b.), ‘More glamorous than the career of the other women', is incorrect as the sentence does not talk about the woman wanting a more successful career than other women’s.
Option (c.), ‘Glamorous', is incorrect as this word does not provide any comparison as is done in the question. It is in positive degree.
Option (d.), ‘No change', is incorrect as option (a.) is the correct answer.

Note: Adverbs have three degrees of comparison - the positive, the comparative, and the superlative. We use as + adjective/adverb + as to make comparisons when the things we are comparing are equal in some way.
