The right answer is B. an increase in their numbers is parallel to a fortification of their environment.
A, D, and E are incorrect because the use of an increasing, a verb-ing modifier that is not preceded by a comma should modify a noun, meanwhile, what follows them are prepositions.
C is wrong because their increase in numbers is not parallel to a fortification of their environment.

On the D day I would mark B. But it doesn't make sense as to what their refers to. Clearly their refers to the herds and hence, increase in the number of herds is what is being conveyed here.
Ideal sentence should say increase in the bison's numbers
