(A) that they will, or could,
(B) that they would, or could,
(C) they will be or could
(D) think that they will be or could
(E) think the power stations would or could

Of all the answer choices above, D makes sense to me.

Please underline the sentence and provide the source of the question. Thank you.

But don't you think option D has pronoun ambiguity?

No, don't think about pronoun ambiguity till the time you are not presented with its replacement in the other options. See all options except E use THEY (and option E is wrong for other reasons such as usage of Would)

Also, as THINK applies to journalists so THEY clearly refers to nuclear plants, also logically THEY can't refer to journalists as it's not journalists who will, or could, be made sufficiently safe in the future but the nuclear plants.

Hope I am making some sense.
