D.
The pronoun "they" is plural; therefore, its antecedent must be plural. That means the answer cannot be A, B, or E. ("Anyone" is singular. "People" is plural.) "Would have anticipated" is not the correct tense, so the answer can't be C. Therefore, the answer must be D.

(A) If anyone at InterCom Financial Advisers would have anticipated
The outcome present in the non-underlined portion uses "would have" + verb. So the verb tense for IF clause should be past perfect INCORRECT
(B) Had anyone at InterCom Financial Advisers anticipated
Use of "had" just by itself without a verb indicates simple past tense. Simple past tense in conditional clause is INCORRECT for the same reason specified in option A
(C) If any people at InterCom Financial Advisers would have anticipated
Same error as in option A INCORRECT
(D) If any people at InterCom Financial Advisers had anticipated
Uses the correct past perfect verb tense in the IF clause.
(E) If anybody at InterCom Financial Advisers anticipated
Use of simple past in IF clause is wrong for the same reason as in other options. INCORRECT
Hence option D
