Down to its last three stores, the once nationwide chain of retail outlets made a grim if somewhat anticipated announcement: that it planned to shut its doors, liquidate all assets, and sell to the highest takeover bidder.
(A) if somewhat anticipated announcement: that it planned to shut its doors, liquidate all assets, and sell to the highest takeover bidder
Incorrect Parallelism. The last part of the sentence, if we read with the base form
that it planned to sell to the higher bidder
(B) yet somewhat anticipated announcement: that it planned to shut its doors and liquidate all its assets, selling to the highest takeover bid
yet appropriately represents the outcome.
Sentence maintains proper structure and conveys intended meaning.
(C) if somewhat anticipated announcement: it planned on shutting its doors, liquidating all its assets, and selling to the highest takeover bid
use of if in incorrect. Illogical meaning.
(D) and somewhat anticipated announcement: it planned to shut its doors, liquidate all assets, and sell to the highest takeover bidder
Use of and disjoints the sentence.
(E) if somewhat anticipated announcement: it planned to shut its doors and liquidate all assets, selling to the highest takeover bidder
use of if is incorrect.
IMO B

(A) if somewhat anticipated announcement: that it planned to shut its doors, liquidate all assets, and sell to the highest takeover bidder
INCORRECT. a colon and "that" both are not required. It can either use the colon or connect with the relative clause staring with 'that'. Also "liquidate all assets", and "sell to the highest takeover bidder" are incorrectly joined by 'and', marking them as separate entities of a list of thigs the chain did.
(B) yet somewhat anticipated announcement: that it planned to shut its doors and liquidate all its assets, selling to the highest takeover bid
INCORRECT this has part of the issue of A. 'that' is unnecessary after colon :
(C) if somewhat anticipated announcement: it planned on shutting its doors, liquidating all its assets, and selling to the highest takeover bid
INCORRECT This has correct colon structure. But plan would need to be followed by an infinitive. So planned to is correct, not planning on
Also "selling to the highest takeover bid" does not seem to be parallel in meaning with "liquidating all its assets" to be separated by 'and'
(D) and somewhat anticipated announcement: it planned to shut its doors, liquidate all assets, and sell to the highest takeover bidder
INCORRECT: 'and' between "..made a grim" and "somewhat anticipated announcement" does not seem to be conveying a correct sense. here we need something that is somewhat opposite in sense with grim, so a 'yet', 'if', or 'but' is better alternative than 'and'. Also "liquidate all assets", and "sell to the highest takeover bidder" are incorrectly joined by 'and', marking them as separate entities of a list of thigs the chain did.
(E) if somewhat anticipated announcement: it planned to shut its doors and liquidate all assets, selling to the highest takeover bidder
CORRECT. This is correct. The colon introduces an independent clause with two entity list followed by a participial phrase correctly meaning that the chain "planned to shut its doors and liquidate all assets" by "selling to the highest takeover bidder"
