The easiest place to start splitting is through the idiom "as...as" which is used to establish that two quantities are at the same level. A,B and D (four times as many than) can be eliminated.

E has a subject-verb disagreement (every 32 pupils has one...)

In addition, "every 32 pupils have one computer" gives the impression that the pupils own this computer. This clouds the story the author tries to get across (namely that the ratio of computer to pupils is now 1:32) because the intended story is not about possession or belonging. "there is one X for every 32 Y" is easier to understand than "every 32 Y have one X". Eliminate D and E

The answer is C
