In general, on the GMAT, remember this:

“for doing something” tell us the purpose of something i.e. this is something it does – already proven and established. For example:

I use a hairbrush for combing my hair.

“to do something” tell us the intent of something i.e. that is what it is supposed to do – not sure if it does so.

I invested in the stock market to make some money.

So, E is better than C as here it is the intent that users watch, compare, and view.

in D vs E check the parallelism which holds in E.
