D. People have opposing opinions as to whether it will have more women leaders.
解析
考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章主旨的理解，特别是对Corporate America未来性别平衡问题的判断能力。需要从选项中准确识别文章中隐含的观点分歧。
解题核心：
文章可能讨论了关于企业领导层性别多样性的不同声音。关键点在于区分选项中哪些是文章明确支持的结论，哪些是仅反映部分观点。需注意选项中“可能”“对立意见”等表述是否与原文一致。
选项分析：
- 选项A（更多女性进入董事会）：文章可能未直接支持这一趋势，仅提及可能性，而非必然结果。
- 选项B（领导层性别失衡可能改变）：若文章仅讨论“可能性”而非明确结论，则此选项过于绝对。
- 选项C（公众对女性领导能力不确定）：文章可能未聚焦于公众态度，而是企业内部决策的争议。
- 选项D（对立意见是否会有更多女性领导者）：若文章引用了支持和反对的声音（如“some argue... others worry...”），则此选项最符合原文。
关键结论：
文章通过引用不同专家或观点，展示了支持女性领导与担忧实际效果的对立态度，因此正确答案为D。
