E. are looking at their waterfronts as a way they can improve the quality of urban life and attract

Answer is D
Question: What is Cleveland one of?
Answer: A large number of communities that are looking to their waterfronts.

In A and B, is (singular) doesn't agree with a large number of communities (plural). Eliminate A and B.

In D, its (singular) doesn't agree with a large number of communities (plural). Eliminate D.

In E, looking at (which means to gaze at) changes the intended meaning of the sentence. The correct idiom is looking to X (which means to consider X). Eliminate E.

The correct answer is C.
