选项 A、that
B、what
C、how
D、when
答案D
解析 本题要求考生判断空格前后两个分句的逻辑关系，填入恰当的从句引导词。The High Street Market was continuously enlarged throughout the period until 1736，【5】it...from Front Street to Third．本句逗号前的部分说明“直至1736年高街市场在不断发展”，逗号后面是定语从句，详细描述1736年的发展状况。该定语从句的先行词是(the year of)1736，空格内填入when,就相当于in which，表示“在这一年”，因此D选项正确。
