Hi

The question had been created keeping the GMAT pattern in mind; however, it's not a replica of any official question. I've edited the source to avoid any confusion.

Thanks!

B is the right one.

'A' provides info on the incentive given to manage. Even if the incentive is given, it cannot guarantee crowd gathering.
Incentive is given when crowd is managed. Irrespective of heavily crowded or not, it should be managed. :)

'B' is the only relevant answer pointing out the reasons for increase in the number.

Hope you got it. :)
