OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
C. the number of residents has increased so considerably
Eliminate Choices (B) and (D) because they pluralize numbers. There is a number of residents rather than numbers of them. Choice (A) has the singular form number, but incorrectly pairs it with the plural verb have. That leaves you with Choices (C) and (E), and Choice (E) unnecessarily adds been to the verb and creates an awkward construction by moving so after considerably. Choice (C) is the best answer.
