This is an exception, we should not use ING form after TO, but Literature doesn't follow any formula as in math.
Here we should check parallelism. Hence given answer is correct and we should learn from this.

We can not write ing with a verb after writing to. This answer is not right.

Absolutely what @Pooja and @Satyansh said is correct. Because in addition to is the correct expression. And moreover I never listened the word like enhancing.

Sorry it's not the right one. After to how can one use ing. It can be option A.

"in addition, to enhance their reputations" sounds good but who knows what's right & what's wrong. : (.

'to' protects the verb written after it just like a model does so 'to enhancing' cannot be correct.
