For me it is D. The number goes with singular. Hence it should be The number of urban dwellers per square mile has grown .
Now we have two choices D and E. I will go with E as sentence witout possive case is more idiomatic than with possive case.

The Number of should always be treated as singular. Hence the helping verb should be HAS instead of HAVE.
We are left with options D and E. Now among D and E, we should not replace an OF prepositional phrase when it tries to give some measure. But in E statement is replacing an OF prepositional phrase as Gotham’s City’s population density.
