    In a leveraged buyout, investors borrow huge sums of money to buy companies, hoping to pay off the debt by using the company’s earnings and to profit richly by the later resale of the companies or their divisions.
    (A) by using the company’s earnings and to profit
    (B) by using the companies’ earnings and by profiting
    (C) using the companies’ earnings and profiting
    (D) with the company’s earnings, profiting

    i think OA is E. to pay off and to profit are parallel in the constructiong hoping to do X and Y.

    the question also tests idiom.
    hoping to X by using or hoping to X with

    I think hoping to pay off with the company's earnings is correct.

    Please post the OA AND OE
