If I recall correctly EQUAL and EQUIVALENT are not used with countable items so A and E are ruled out.

as great as the number is awkward in D so we are left with B and C

I am not sure if there is any grammatical problem with C , but B is concise so I would go with B


b. as many female as male students are currently enrolled in medical school

c. the number of female students is as many as that of male students currently enrolled in medical school

I am not sure about Equal and Equivalent.

But between B and C I am game for C because of clear subject 'the number'

I can vouch for "equal"

equal is used with uncountable things

such as equal justice
