‘The’ year’s group should be ‘this’ year’s, I suppose. A typo perhaps.
The first split is SV agreement. The plural verb ‘Include’ for the singular subject ‘group’ is wrong. B and D are out.
A is out because of wrong idiom, ‘as many women than’
The second split is that the comparison is between this year’s group and last year’s group. It is not between this year’s women and last year’s women or between this year and last year. Hence C and D are out.
This leaves E as the choice: This Year's group of freshmen includes at least twice as many women as last year’s (group)

Options B and D can be rejected straight away as we have to use a singular verb here i.e include, because it is used to "group" which itself is singular. Both A and C are wordy. So left with option E.
