D it is.

"picture as" is correct. Eliminate B and C. "if they have any image..." suggests use of "would". D satisfies that.

Why if they have is ok?
Because the author uses if they have, I think this sentence is not in unreal condition. Accordingly, would in D is not suitable.

My choice is C. Imagine someone to be sth is a correct phrase.

I will go with C as well.

in D:
as is incorrectly used to compare two nouns:
William Randolph Hearst - and - the caricature portrayed..

most people today ,

today indicates present tense.

Interesting. ..... :-D

I think the answer is D as well. we have unreal condition here.

If + have+.... would.... only D uses that structure.

but OA is A.

Paul, Can you shed some light, why D is not the correct answer. we need the conditional rule here.

Most people today, if they have any image at all of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, picture him as resembling the caricature portrayed in Orson Welles' classic film Citizen Kane

A) picture him as resembling
B) picture him to resemble
C) imagine him to be like
D) would imagine him as
E) see him as being similar as

Lets apply PoE, shall we?

B and C are clearly wrong. People don't picture/imagine someone to be like a caricature. He imagines her to try to forget her - lot of ambiguity.
So, To is wrong usage

E. is too wordy and makes no sense

D. Most people today , xyz , would imagine him as a caricature. Would is incorrect tense.

Nothing wrong with A.
