D is best.
"of having" is parallel to "of using".
In non underlined part "their" is used for police so "they" is correct for "police".

I received a PM asking me to comment.

In A, B and C, a reader might think that the LAWYER charged and then USED the information. Since the intended meaning is that the POLICE used the information, eliminate A, B and C.

In E, such information as they obtained is unidiomatic. Eliminate E.

D is better than the rest, but I would ignore this SC.
In the non-underlined portion, charged that she suspected is awkward and feels a bit redundant: why not simply say she ACCUSED?
In D, the change from the present perfect (HAVING taped, which implies PRIOR action) to the present (USING the information, which implies CONTEMPORANEOUS action) is confusing. Were the police USING the information at the same time as the lawyer CHARGED? The sequence of events is hard to follow.
I'm not even sure that the GMAT would approve of the idiom suspected X of VERBing. The following is more likely: The lawyer suspected that the police HAD illegally taped her conversations.

What is the source of this SC?
