IMO D should be the answer.
As the sentence implies supposition, would and be are the correct forms of verb.

The statement talks about an event in the past. 'would guess' implies a future event. Eliminate D and E. We need 'would have been' to signify an event that finished in the past.

B is wordy and awkward.

C has 'would be' is the wrong tense because it indicates that historian has guessed but hasn't been proven wrong as yet.

A has the correct tense. 'would have guessed X and (would have) been quite wrong'.
So It Goes
