(D) is wrong because of the mismatch between the hypothetical "if" and following verb "often find." To use if correctly, choice (D) would have to be changed to one of the following:

General rule with no uncertainty
If you eat in this restaurant, you find that the prices are high and that the food is poorly prepared.
IF Present, THEN Present.

General rule with some uncertainty
If you eat in this restaurant, you may often find that the prices are high and that the food is poorly prepared.
IF Present, THEN Can or May.

Particular case (in the future) with no uncertainty
If you eat in this restaurant, you will often find that the prices are high and that the food is poorly prepared.
IF Present, THEN Future.

Unlikely case (in the future)
If you ate in this restaurant, you would often find that the prices are high and that the food is poorly prepared.
IF Hypothetical Subjunctive, THEN Conditional.

Case that Never Happened (in the past)
If you had eaten in this restaurant, you would have often found that the prices are high and that the food is poorly prepared.
IF Past Perfect, THEN Conditional Perfect.
