    I was voting for D but then came back to A. The reason being that "with' without the comma might have have worked but "intending" fits in the best as it needs to be a participle.

    A looks more sound
    they be used by modifies credit card numbers
    all the other choices refer to the wrong antecedent (others)

    B says the others intended this act, not the suspect himself

    C intending that telephone billings could be avoided by others using them
    (using what card numbers or others??)

    in D with the intent of their use makes the sentence awkward

    E would be avoided by others through their use
    (through the use of card numbers or others??)

    intend of is incorrect idiom.

    A uses the correct subjunctive form.
