(A) population equal to Kansas - Incorrect comparison
(C) Population = 1/3 Area of Kansas, compares population to area, hence incorrect
(D) same population = Means people are same, incorrect
(E) Incorrectly compares and a Noun must be present after the first comma clause, hence incorrect...
Answer must be (B)

KAPLAN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
B.
Be sensitive to the small variations in answer choices. They allow you to zero in on subtle errors like the one in this sentence. When you got to the answer choices here, you may have noticed that each one plays with the wording of “population equal to Kansas. You can compare only like terms. You can’t say “a population equal to Kansas,” because you can only compare a population to another population, you can’t compare a population to a state. In (B),”that of” should have sounded really good to you; “that” stands for “population.” “With a population equal to that of Kansas” is just a shorter and more elegant way of saying “With a population equal to the population of Kansas.” In (C), the population isn’t “with an average” of ten thousand people per square mile.
