The new management matches with it not their or they
Hence only C & D left
an intention to expend is better than on expanding as an infinitive is required here
Hence D

A,B,E out for pronoun errors, C uses plan on unidiomatic, it should be plan to so what is left is D.

C) its most recent press release, the new management stated that it plans on expanding

D) its most recent press release, the new management stated an intention to expand

E) its most recent press release, the new management stated their (its) intention to expand

Left between C and D...
C - "Stated that it plans on expanding" is not that crystal when compared to "Stated an intention to expand"
