I would go with answer choice D
Answers choices with "to be" should be eliminated since the idiom "from X to Y" requires parallelism. A and C are out.
B. "In having decreased" is unidiomatic.
E. Pronoun error. "Its" is a possessive noun reffering to "the number". Thus, we would have: with the number's decrease from 1.4 million in 2008 to... That does not make sense.
