The clue is in "... and surpass china". So, for parallelism, we need a
noun (country). The subject of the main phrase is "population of India"
and so we cannot have it/they to refer back to India.

Only C has this parallelism. Another vote for C.

A. it will probably have what is estimated as -->mean the same thing... redundant
B. they are likely to have --> who is they?
C. the country will probably have --> Correct
D. there will probably be --> where? In India, the world? Unclear.
E. there will be an estimated --> where? In India, the world? Unclear.
