A. devoted his subsequent career to do it - Awkward

B. has devoted his subsequent career to do that - Parallelism error

C. devoted his subsequent career to such an end - Awkward

D. has devoted his subsequent career for that - Wrong tense

E. devoted his subsequent career to that end- Correct tense

My pick is (E)
