Despite gloomy predictions, the reactions of participants in the Senate hearing represent an intensifying expectation that government regulators will avert the crisis onlookers had predicted previously and may perhaps bring about a period of sustained growth, succeeded by a safe and stable economic revival.

Out of the lot D seems best. Here is the reasoning :-
in A) may perhaps is redundant
in B) had predicted doesn't go with any past tense verb in the sentence
in C) Same as in B as far as tense goes;
in E) with it perhaps - no antecedent for it, the only singular antecedent that comes is crisis which doesn't make sense to go with the last part.
Hence I would go with D on this one

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Let's ignore all the details for a second and understand the meaning of the sentence. The sentence states that there is a certain expectation and then goes on to describe what that expectation is: government regulators will avoid a crisis and might actually improve things. The sentence looks okay. The verbs are parallel, the tenses are logical, and there's nothing particularly confusing here.
None of the other options are an improvement. They make the sentence needlessly confusing at best and grammatically incorrect at worst.
The correct answer is Choice (A).
