This is a tricky problem.
Most people would think that between "which" and "whose," the correct pronoun to use is "which" because we are referring to an inanimate object.
However, there is a GMAT precedence for the use of "whose" to reference inanimate objects. The rule is that the pronoun "whose" should be used for a possessive antecedent.
eg.
"The play, whose stye is formal, is typical of that period."
Also, the sentence in solution B uses the incorrect superlative form to compare the growth of Chicago and other cities. When we are comparing growth in multiple cities, the comparative form should be something along the lines of"...most rapid," not "...more rapid."
Answer E doesn't have this issue because we are only comparing growth between Chicago and any other city (singular).
The answer should be E
HTH!

papillon,
please do not mark the answers at first. It would bias people.
Let them try to get the answer without any guide.
If you want, you could put the answer in a later post.
This is also a way of studying for other people
cheers
