let me give it a shot..here we are trying to emphasize on different/contradicting actions rather than similar actions performed by two bitter rivals. So it's is better to use each and not both..
But i am in doubt why C is better than D..maybe because C tries to say:

each side is intent on creating difficulties for the other (side)

Grammatically correct structure:
both...each other/one another
each... the other

So only B and C left
And as rahulg83 said, C does better in emphasis.

Between C and D...

IMO D can be kicked out because of one-one rules of Kaplan...

As per kaplan one cannot refer to anything except one...

Moreover even if that is not the case....one as a pronoun is ambiguous here...there are two names to which "one" can refer.
