I think answer is - "The number of tourists is expected to rise BY seven to ten percent in the next ten years".
We are comparing no. of tourists so it can't be in terms of %. But we can use " By" .

DEAR ALL, LET ME CLARIFY THE THINGS HERE.
" THE NUMBER" THE is use for particular/ specific number, here its count as singular subject, so here "IS" is correct
"FROM SEVEN TO TEN PERCENT" here FROM is removed because, in sentence we are assuming or expecting that the number will rise its not true and not a final figure. So FROM is used when we have some data with proof. clarify you with an example...

eg. GDP OF INDIA WAS RISE FROM SEVEN TO TEN PERCENT IN LAST YEAR.

HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND

option b is correct because the number of tourists - many people so( are) should be replaced in the place of (is). that is my opinion
