The correct answer is C. Obama had the same number of women as Clinton but more minorities.

While they had the same number of women - 7 women - it is important to note that while Obama had 7 women just in his first cabinet, Clinton only reached that number combining both terms.

On the other hand, Obama's first cabinet included more members of minorities - 9 racial and ethnic minorities among 21 members - than Clinton's administration.
