The question is flawed - "which" is better than "that". An essential modifier is used to define a subset. Ideally there should be a comma before "which" and D should be the correct answers. Option A indicates that there are many riderships - of them we are referring to only those that grew by a double digit.
Following is some basic concepts about essential and non-essential modifiers:
Essential modifier: mandatory- required to define the noun it refers to - no comma - removal of the modifier changes the meaning of the sentence.
example: I hate men who brag.
meaning: Say there are 100 men and 30 of them brag. I hate only those 30 bragging men.
Removal of the modifier would imply that I hate all 100 men rather than just those 30 bragging men - meaning changes.
Non-essential modifier:
not mandatory - says something extra about the noun it refers to - comma required - removal of the modifier does not change the meaning of the sentence.
example: I hate men, who brag.
meaning: Say there are 100 men. I hate all 100 of them. Extra information- those 100 men brag.
Removal of the modifier would still imply that I hate all 100 men - the meaning does not change.
