Yes, Ravi: that can appear after a colon. This does not mean that it always needs to appear when it could, just that its appearance does not create an automatic redundancy, as some earlier posts have claimed. In a sense, I wish this question would go away. But if the dialogue can apprise GMAT™ aspirants of even one lesser known exception to a general tendency, and such an exception has shown up in an official SC question, then perhaps my efforts have not been in vain.
Good luck with your studies.

Here's why A is better than D (or why I chose A): it's because the meaning is clearer in A. The sentence is easier to understand.
The THAT in A makes it clear that 'Astronomers have long believed THAT such bodies are...'. So the link between the first and second part of the sentence is made explicit; what we get after the colon is a statement of what astronomers have long believed.
Without the THAT, we would have an independent clause after the colon. Readers would have to take an extra mental step to understand the meaning.
Redundancy is about unnecessary (and usually illogical) repetition. When the addition of a word increases comprehensibility and makes reading more effortless, we do not consider the word redundant.
