p16 magazine

Founded in 1983, the magazine increased its circulation more than double since then, and its advertising.
(A) increased its circulation more than double since then,
(B) has since increased its circulation more than double,
(C) has since more than doubled its circulation
(D) since then more than doubled its circulation
(E) more than doubled its circulation since then

why not D?

Increase and more than are redundant in A and B so ruled out. We are left with C, D and E.

(E) more than doubled its circulation since then

E does not include the parallelism its circulation and its advertising. So we are left with C and D.

(D) since then more than doubled its circulation - seems awkward with since then more than.

(C) has since more than doubled its circulation - is the correct one.

C is wrong because "since" do not have time point following it. we need since 1995, or since then
