The correct answer is:
(E) comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom
Explanation:
Option (E) provides the clearest and most concise construction. It maintains parallelism, using "comparable to that of Great Britain" to compare the land area of Laos with that of Great Britain and "a population of only four million people" to describe Laos's population. Additionally, "many of whom" correctly refers to the people of Laos, maintaining clarity and coherence in the sentence.
