I don't see how the answer could be anything except "E".
The question is "how many people....". In order to answer a question about a number, we need at least one actual number somewhere in the information. However, all of the information we have is about percents, so it's impossible to come up with an actual number of people.
Is the full question there? GMAT questions (especially DS) are all about precise language, so omitting words or even changing a couple of words can have a dramatic impact on the correct answer.
