Pick C.

Reduce the sentence and it becomes very easy to select the correct answer.

A) The number of undergraduate degrees awarded increased by more than twice from 1978 to 1985.
B) The number of undergraduate degrees awarded increased more than two times from 1978 to 1985.
C) The number of undergraduate degrees awarded more than doubled from 1978 to 1985.
D) The number of undergraduate degrees awarded was more than doubled from 1978 to 1985.
E) The number of undergraduate degrees awarded had more than doubled from 1978 to 1985.

I hope you can see that C is concise and is able to convey the meaning perfectly.
