Well, I think the ans is E. It's the only one that doesn't change the meaning of the sentence

"using" / "having" in the other answer choices change the meaning. "E" is concise and okay

whats the OA ?

I would choose B.

I think will not be used sounds correct here.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I think it is A.

It needs the use of the subjuntive mood because the there is uncertainty on whether the officers will speak or not

The condition should be followed by a verb in the infinitive form, which A serves to accomplish. However, the structure of the clause is awkward in A. The solution would be to change the clause to not having to use the infinitive, in which case E looks to be fine.

The same question has come from two sources with two different OAs. :) So dont know which one is correct. The chocies are A and C.
I felt that the answer should be A because this sentence requires subjunctive formation.
