E , IMO
Meaning :
In 2018, American cybersecurity executives indicated
that cyber-crime impacted various industries on their internal networks
and anticipated cyber-attacks to increase with company-wide intranet and software that become more broadly accessible.
The way the sentence is written it is not clearly conveying the meaning . .
American cybersecurity executives indicated X and anticipated cyber-attacks to increase with company-wide intranet and software .. The red part seems illogical meaning .
Yes yet can be correct if we say ..
They anticipated cyber-attacks to increase because company-wide intranet and software became more broadly accessible. ..
Error :
1. Meaning error as mentioned above .
(A) on their internal networks and anticipated cyber-attacks to increase company-wide intranet become more broadly accessible
1. Meaning error as mentioned above .
(B) on their internal networks and anticipate the increase of cyber-attacks with the broader accessibility of company-wide intranet
1. Meaning error as mentioned above .
2. Parallelism error . The verbs indicated and anticipate are not parallel.
(C) on their internal networks, and they anticipate more cyber-attacks to increase with the wider accessibility of company-wide intranet
1. Meaning error as mentioned above .
2. Parallelism error . The verbs indicated and anticipate are not parallel.
(D) on their internal networks, and that they anticipated the increase of cyber-attacks as company-wide intranet would become more widely accessible
1. With the change in sentence structure the parallelism error is now resolved from choice B and C .
2. However , with the use of the word would become it introduced a Meaning change error . With the use of the conditional verb form would become , there is an element of uncertainty ,which makes this choice incorrect .
3. Also this choice not concise .
(E) online, and that they anticipated cyber-attacks to increase as company-wide intranet became more widely accessible
--- Correct . This choice corrected all the error above. In this version the verb anticipated has an subject they , and the clause -- they anticipated cyber-attacks to increase as company-wide intranet became more widely accessible---- clearly indicates that the increase in cyber-attacks is because of the company-wide intranet becoming more widely accessible.
A humble request to hit Kudos , if you like above reasoning .

In 2018, American cybersecurity executives indicated that cyber-crime impacted various industries on their internal networks and anticipated cyber-attacks to increase with company-wide intranet and software that become more broadly accessible.
the past tense verb ''indicated'' suggests that the event being described is past event. Hence, we need to use the past tense verb form as the main tone of the passage.
Since (B) and (C) uses the present tense verb ''anticipate'', eliminate (B) and (C).
(A) on their internal networks and anticipated cyber-attacks to increase company-wide intranet become more broadly accessible
(D) on their internal networks, and that they anticipated the increase of cyber-attacks as company-wide intranet would become more widely accessible
(E) online, and that they anticipated cyber-attacks to increase as company-wide intranet became more widely accessible - has no error. Hence, (E) is the right answer choice.
