OA is D.

Already discussed elsewhere.

overestimate the amount of energy used by visible equipment....................
and underestimate that used by unobtrusive equipment....

tried to simplify the sentence for better reading and understanding...
that - a relative pronoun refers to "amount of energy"
Cheers,
John
