正确答案：
D:amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from nearly three-quarters a decade ago
选项分析：
A. which无所指，前面没有成分可以与amounts to连接（the numbers of non-Hispanic Whites in California才可以）；only修饰a decade ago错误。
B. which无所指；down from a decade ago逻辑意思不合理；it无所指。
C. and that amounts中that无所指；they无指代对象。
D. Correct；amounting做状语修饰前面整个主系表结构；对于only的省略见“补充说明”
E. down from what it was a decade ago比较对象不合理, 应该是人口数与人口数比,而不是人口与时间；it无所指；what it was很wordy and awkward；down from…by改变原句含义。
