Option B: while 'it' has been..it refers to the complete phrase 'the male size increase' - not the intention here
Option C: no need of 'had' here as we are not talking about anything that happened before a certain point in time
Option D: no need of it in the second part, in fact 'it' leads to parallelism error
Option E: seems as if somebody is increasing and decreasing the sizes- not the intended meaning as this sentence explains a phenomenon
