IMHO A is the best.
B is wrong because the introductory phrase "Each month with the intention of maintaining" changes the intended meaning.
C is wrong because "intending the maintenance of his standard ....." is a dangling modifier. What does it modify? Month?, John?.
D is wrong because there is not a clear reference for "which" and because even if we find one the meaning doesn't have any sense.
E has the same problem as D.
A is the best. Two prepositional phrases are used, one at the beginning and another one at the end. Both act as adverbs, modifying the main clause, not any specific non.

I think it is A
B says each month after the intention of maintaining his standard of living after the end of his basketball career. This sentence means that his basketball career ends each month, which isnot correct.

if there is a comma after "month", B would be perfect.
Ditto. The others are not right too, but in the GMAT I'd choose A.
B should be - Each month, with the intention of maintaining his standard of living after the end of his basketball career, John deposits a portion of his earnings from playing basketball into a special account
"with the intention... basketball career" becomes a non-restrictive clause and the rest of the sentence can be organised as - "Each month John deposits... special account." _________________
Uh uh. I know what you're thinking. "Is the answer A, B, C, D or E?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

I'm not sure if "Each" has been used correctly here. Shouldn't the sentence begin with Every?
for example
I go to the bank every (not each) month
or
Every(not each) month, I go to the bank.
Using both of them together...
I go to the bank each of the summer months, every(not each) year.
