The correct answer is D. Whom did you consult about your career decision?

The pronoun whom/whomever is used as an object pronoun - so only when this pronoun is the object of a sentence can it be used. The only sentence that correctly uses the pronoun whom is D; in A, it should be whom; in B, it should be whom; in C it should be whomever.
