(A) equivalent to the enrollment of
(B) the equivalent of those enrolled in
(C) equal to those who are enrolled in

Solution:

Comparison*

We need a choice that can be compared with eight million people.
A and D can be eliminated due to use of “enrollment of”.
B is awkward due to use of “the equivalent of those”
C leads to wrong comparison due to use of “equal to those”.
E is the best choice here.
