B, C & E can be eliminate - 'consider as ' is wrong idioms in GMAT
between A & D - D seems better. In modifier 'you ' is subject and ' who - Mr. Thale' is object. object form of 'who' is 'whom'

(D) for me. Time taken 0:53.

I won't comment on "correct idiomatic usage of "consider" because GMAT now has moved from idiomatic errors to more substantial errors. So, let's reject choices on the basis of other solid reasons.

"who" works as a subject, but "whom" is always an object, so "who" should be followed by a "verb", not a subject. On that basis alone, you can get rid of (A) and (C).

(B) in this choice, "responsible for large numbers" is incorrect. Mr. Thale can be responsible for "a large number of irregularities", not "large numbers of irregularities".

(E) can be dropped for "as being so honest" is so much indirect to "so honest" in (D).

So, (D) remains and looks good to me.
Let's wait for the OA.

My answer is (D). It took me 58 seconds.

"Who" or "Whom"? It depends on how "who/m" is used in the relative clause.
In the relative clause, "You" is the subject, and transitive verb "consider" is the main verb. To serve as the object of "consider", "whom" should be used. (AC) can be eliminated.

Considered = Regarded as. Do not use "considered as".
(BCE) can be eliminated.

In addition, "numbers of" is generally wrong in GMAT. You can use either "A number of" or "The number of". (Read more at https://gmatclub.com/forum/?href=-of-v ... 51119.html)

(D) is free of any issues identified above.
