It would be better to end the sentence with "to do so" to explain the complete action.
B)has devoted his subsequent career to do that.. no referent
C)devoted his subsequent career to such an end ....such means, like what? dont know
D)has devoted his subsequent career for that ...no referent
E)devoted his subsequent career to that end
to that end is a correct phrase and next best answer
