Talking of option E , is it
e) amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from what is was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters
or
e) amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from what it was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters


If 1st then E is easy to eliminate , if 2nd then doesnt "it" make sentence more clearer. ?? "it" points to "population of state" ??

This is my approach:

A) read this as : which amounts to a little less than half the population of the state - doest it sounds right -- NO hence eliminated
B) same as A
C) and that amounts to a little less than half the population of the state, down from a decade ago, when they were nearly three-quarters. --- pronoun reference is improper
D) Correct
E) What is was is usually unidiomatic and awkward --as per OG 11 Q4

Hence OA is D
