PS: I hope my understanding is not flawed here. Kindly correct me if I wrong. Thank you.
My answer is C........
"predicts that" makes the entire sentence subjective mode (Because it is the un-underlined portion, we can safely assume). This means that the sentence preceding "that" needs to be in simple tense (Present or Past).
Furthermore, In will vs would: will is preferred over would in this situation because:
WILL:
- Generally used for future (Eg: I will be running or I will run)
- Used to express the surety of some future event to happen
(Eg: If I study hard, I will ace the test.[Sounds 100% confident])
(Eg: If I study hard, I would ace the test.[Does not sound 100% confident. Looks like he is stating one of many possible outcomes from his action of studying hard.])
WOULD:
- Generally used for future as well (Cousin of will) (Eg: It would be great if you can stop lying.)
- Used to convey a future possibility but not sure. In case of sure events, "would" is not preferred(Guess why ?) (Eg: If you stop overeating at night, it would help you loose weight.)
- Used to state wish/desire. [Eg: If I were (no was) famous, I would have used my influence to make this world a better place.]
NOTE:While stating wish, instead of was use "were" even for singular noun
Now on to the question.........
A. would only succeed should the density of repeat customers have been greater than [OUT: Reason mentioned above]
B. will succeed only should the density of repeat customers be more numerous than [OUT: The sentence is trying to state that X will happen if Y happens. This means X need Y to happen, without Y happen first X will not happen....There "only if" is better to state the condition.
C. will succeed only if the density of repeat customers is greater than [MY ANSWER]
D. should only succeed with a repeat customer density of greater than [OUT: Reason mentioned above]
E. will succeed only with repeat customer density being greater than[/quote] [OUT: The sentence is trying to state that X will happen if Y happens. This means X need Y to happen, without Y happen first X will not happen....There "only if" is better to state the condition "with" is not used.]

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
ANSWER: C
Since the underlined passage is what “the MegaTek Corporation predicts,” the underlined passage should take the future tense “will” rather than “would” or “should.” Of the choices B, C, and E, C presents the most standard English construction.
