Solution:

B and E can be eliminated as use of ‘should’ in such context is always wrong on GMAT.
A can be eliminated for the use of ‘was’ with ‘if’.
C is wordy in “any connection that is apparent”
D is the best choice.
OG Solution:
D, the best choice, deals successfully with four issues. It uses a present indicative verb form in the conditional clause. If Dr. Wade is right, in order to agree with the verb in the main clause, any connection is...coincidental. It uses the idiomatic phrasing connection between x and y. It presents the coordinate objects of the preposition between (eating ... and excelling ...) in parallel form. Finally, the adjective apparent appears in front of its head-noun connection, not after. A, B, and E use incorrect verb forms in the conditional clause. A and B use the unidiomatic connection of x and y. A and C violate parallelism with eating of. C and E incorrectly place apparent after its headword connection.
