IMO:A

Correct usage of double and twice!

The number of people flying first class on domestic flights rose sharply in 1990, which doubled last year's increase.

The number of people flying first class on domestic flights rose sharply in 1990, which is twice that of the previous year.

Please correct me if am wrong!

GK

perfect Answer is A.

The doubling here is happening for the increase. Thus both of them can live together.
