First, recollect that a past perfect tense is used to depict that an event occurs prior to another event in past.
In option E, the verb "had doubled" is in past perfect tense, but there is no reference of another verb with simple past tense in the sentence. Hence the reason above is correct - in order to use past perfect, you must have another verb in simple past ( or at least a time reference) before which the verb in past perfect occured.

Correct Answer: C
Explanation: In answer choice A, "twice," an adverb, is incorrectly used as the object of the preposition "by." Answer choice B introduces ambiguity by implying that the number of vehicles increased on more than two separate occasions, which does not make very much sense. Answer choice D uses the passive voice and suggests some unnamed agent (who did the doubling.) Answer choice E incorrectly uses the past perfect tense (had). "Had" is only used when verbs within the same sentence refer to different time periods. Because there is only one verb in this sentence, there is no use for the verb "had." The correct answer choice is C, which succinctly expresses the growth.

Hi mikemcgarry, GMATNinja, GMATNinjaTwo, daagh Experts
I did not get the verb for the subject number of vehicles in this sentence.
Although increased is seemingly the verb for number but I don't think it as a verb because number(S) can't do the action of increasing itself.
Please explain how is increased verb here also correct me where am I going wrong in the SV identification.
TIA.
