个人理解。先看句子结构，代入B选项，整个句子： Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intesifying expectations that personal spending in the 6-9 quarter would more than double the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previouse quarter. 黑体字部分Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intesifying expectations for the previouse quarter. 为句子主要结构。that引导的是一个修饰expectations的从句。
这个从句里面的简化结构就是 X would more than double Y。more than  不是比较，是修饰动词 double。

D选项是expectations of X more than doubling that (expectations) of Y ,  doubling that..做同位语修饰X，不简洁。

为什么我觉得这个句子的主干应该是Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations. 那个for the previous quarter是修饰紧跟着的那个spending的来着...

Ron 解释的D,关于that of 觉得明白了

Also, "that of..." in (D) doesn't make sense.

For that construction to work, "that" must stand for an actual noun. I.e., you should be able to write "doubling the _____ of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending", where ______ is a noun.

The problem, of course, is that there's no noun that can actually go there. We're talking about doubling the rate itself, not doubling the ____ of the rate.
