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.
1.The suspect is facing charges that he illegally published telephone credit card numbers, intending that they be used by others to avoid telephone billings.
(A) intending that they be used by others to avoid telephone billings.
(B) with the intent of others using them to avoid telephone billings
(C) intending that telephone billings could be avoided by others using them
(D) with the intent of their use by others to avoid telephone billings
(E) with the intent that telephone billings would be avoided by others through their use
SPOILER: ANS: A

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??)
