actually you can have a number.....grow I think.

e.g The number of people taking the GMAT has grown tremendously.

BUT you cant have a something grow to a LEVEL. you RISE to a LEVEL, since Level implies a hierarchy of layers.

I also pick D

This one reads like:
The number of unemployed truck drivers is expected although not to levels experienced in the last few years

Can anybody explain why A and B are not correct? Is "it" really the issue as HongHu mentioned or something else?

(D) The number of unemployed truck drivers is expected to rise , although (it is) not (expected to rise) to a certain level.

Wow, that is a lot of omitted words there. How can we know in general? Ellipsis sometime can be wrong.
