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
