Explanation

Option (D) is correct because the sentence 'Will you get the subjects you want to study in college? I hope so.' expresses a desire for a positive outcome (getting the chosen subjects) along with the belief that it is quite possible. In this context, 'hope' means wanting something to happen and thinking it is quite possible, which perfectly aligns with the speaker's optimism about college admissions.
