Under the restructuring, the huge organization that
operates the company's basic businesses will be
divided into five groups, each with its own execu-
tive.

(A) each with its own executive
(B) all having their own executive
(C) each having their own executive
(D) with its own executive for each
(E) every one with an executive of their own

IMO A.

A - the usage of each in this context is correct. Each is rightly followed by 'its'.

B - does not clearly indicate that each division will have its own executive. This sentence means that all the 5 divisions will have one executive.

C - each should be followed by a singular pronoun. The usage of 'their' is incorrect.

D - with its own..... is awkward construction.

E - awkward construction
