Official Answer:
Option A has a tense inconsistency between the first and second clauses; the second clause should be in the past tense. Option B has a tense inconsistency in the second clause; the present perfect tense "had accepted" is not appropriate because the announcement of the resignation is in the present tense.
Option C has a tense inconsistency in the first clause; the future tense "would resign" is not appropriate because the announcement is in the present tense.
Option E has a tense inconsistency in the second clause; the past perfect tense "had accepted" is not appropriate because the announcement is in the present tense.
D) The CEO of the company announced that he would resign next month, and that he had accepted another job offer. This option is the most clear and concise way to express the idea in the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
