The answer is A. You can eliminate the answer choices like so:

First off, looking at the answer choices, you can eliminate C, D, and E because they change the subject of the sentence, and there is nothing grammatically incorrect with the subject being 'number'.

Then you can eliminate B because 'who are in' is an extraneous pronoun reference making the sentence more wordy and less concise. That leaves the original example sentence. There's nothing wrong with the way it is originally phrased.

Option A.
'A number of' should take a singular verb and it is supposed to be the subject of the sentence.

Option B.
'have'? NO! like I stated above 'A number of' should attract a singular verb. But this option carries 'have' which makes it incorrect.

Option C.
The subject of the sentence should not be changed for any reason.It, therefore, means that the option has been truncated.Thus, incorrect

Option D.
'a growing number'? this changes the context of the sentence.Thus, the option is incorrect.

Option E.
The subject of the sentence has been interrupted and no more retains its active voice.Thus, this option is incorrect.
