(A) as the ones who salted - wrong idiom
(B) as the salters of - wrong idiom
(C) for salting - wrong idiom
(D) with having salted - correct idiom. credited with . and also the tense required is past tense. salted ....
(E) with the salting of - correct idiom . incorrect usage of salting in the sentence.

Hence D
