(A) realizing that in this increasingly urban area, there is now more worry about crime [ it sounds as if the result is realizing something. wrong. how can a result realize something? Eliminated!]
(B) the realization that in this increasingly urban area, they now worry more about crime [ 'they' does not have a proper antecedent. Eliminated!]
(C) the realization that in this increasingly urban area, voters now worry more about crime [ correct! meaning intent maintained]
(D) a realizing that in this increasingly urban area, there is now more concern about crime [ same error as in A. result is not realizing anything. Eliminated!]
(E) the realization that in this increasingly urban area, concerns about crime are greater [ wrong comparison. concerns about crime are compared to health care. they should have been compared to concerns about health care. Eliminated!]
Hope this helps!

1. A result should be a noun and the realization suits better.(down to three options)
2. "they" pronoun antecedent absent.
3. E is wrong because of the wrong comparison.
So IMO C

Ya i Agree with vijay
Check the to be kind of verb form.
Noun clause/phrase to be verb form Noun clau/phrase
A result of ... is (Noun clause/Phrase) The realization ..
So we are down to
B,C and E
B --- Goes off ..because the Pronoun has no antecedent.
C and E
Problems in answer choice E: how the concerns can be greater.It can be possible that people are more concern about something ..so E is incorrect.
Or Concerns about CRIME > Health .....How the comparison between Con. abt .CRIME and Health is possible ?
IMO C...
