Why D is correct

The pronoun is the object of "choose," so the objective form "whom" is correct. Rearranged: "The committee chose whom as chairperson?"

Why the other options are wrong

A Who
The subject form, but here the pronoun is the object of "choose". Rearranged, the sentence is "the committee chose ___ as chairperson".
B Whose
Possessive, which would need something owned.
C Who's
A contraction of "who is", which leaves the sentence with two verbs and no object.
