To meet the rapidly rising market demand

[To meet the rapidly risin]

To meet the rapidly rising market demand for fish and seafood, suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment by nearly half and raising them on special diets.

(a) their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment
(b) their natural growth rate, their feed allotment cut
(c) growing them naturally, cutting their feed allotment
(d) they grow naturally, cutting their feed allotment
(e) they grow naturally, with their feed allotment cut

Suppliers are growing fast by cutting their feed allotment. So I eliminated B and E.

For C I was not sure what them was referring to.
For D I thought D could refer to fish or suppliers
So I went ahead with A.
But the answer is D. Please explain Why D?
