The number of full-time professional organizers in Denver, Colorado, increased by more than thrice from 1996 to 2004.
(A) increased by more than thrice : "by thrice" is wrong ( Correct usage: He went there thrice) (B) increased more than three times : This means the incident has repeated three times but the intended meaning is "the number" has incresed. (C) more than tripled : Correct (D) was more than tripled : Paasive (E) had more than tripled : usage of "had" is inappropriate.

The number of full-time professional organizers in Denver, Colorado, increased by more than thrice from 1996 to 2004. ------>The main comparative subject is "the number of full-time professional organisers", so the correct comparison should be "3 times greater than".
(A) increased by more than thrice--->it's obviously wrong (B) increased more than three times---->Incorrect form of comparison. (C) more than tripled (D) was more than tripled---->Incorrect meaning cause it uses passive form. (E) had more than tripled--->Incorrect meaning cause it uses passive form. ---->The answer is C
Tripled is a verb there. The more than before tripled just means that this was a >3x increase (without the more than, it would have been 3x).

Thanks mate
I think i figured it out wrong 'tripled' acts as a verb only
And i need your help in one more thing. Correct answer is option C because that is the most concise way of writing the intended meaning. Is that correct ? These questions have always been a little challenge for me
