A can be eliminated as the correct usage should be “than in any other…”
B is wordy and awkward and changes the meaning by comparing ‘Chicago’ with “other American cities”.
C changes the meaning by using “industrially more rapid”.
D can be eliminated as it misses the much needed ‘that of’.
E, although wordy, is the best choice.
