The sentence starts with a noun phrase (Unsure of their ability ...) that should modify the "prospective test takers". So, (A) and (B) are out.
Drop (E) for using "quantities" to refer to "tutors". "Quantity" of tutors sounds bad. "Number" of tutors makes more sense.
Between (C) and (D), an infinitive "to help" is superior to "for helping" to depict intentions.
Thus, (D) is the correct choice. It took me 0:57 secs.

(D) prospective GMAT takers are hiring private tutors in large numbers to help
(E) prospective GMAT takers are hiring private tutors in large quantities to help
Official Explanation:
Answer: D
The modifying phrase at the beginning of the sentence is modifying prospective GMAT takers and not private tutors. Thus, A and B can be immediately eliminated. The correct idiomatic construction is to help, so eliminate C. The use of quantities in E to modify hiring of private tutors is not correct, making D the correct answer.
