Is it (D)?

Not (A) b/c you are comparing more than two things so the use of 'the other' is not right.

(D) is right.

"one with another" is almost always wrong. The meaning is unclear, it is not concise. If you see that, I would say its safe to eliminate that answer choice immediately.

'with one another' is used for more than two things
'with each other' is used for two things

just like 'between' is used for two things and 'among' is used for more than two things.
