No we can not write in addition of....with the word 'addition' we always use 'to'.
But I think why an option is not given like
'in addition to enhance their reputations'.
But I think why an option is not given like

Yes, if to is used in an infinitive (to+v1) then ing is not used but if it is used as a preposition i.e. here in addition to use ing after that.

Due to the existence of in addition and the 2nd sentence has verb as ing form and so the 1st sentence also in the ing form and so the option C.

Answer is wrong because 'ing' form can not be used after 'to' in sentence formation.

Hence their here is plural so reputation and in addition to is a phrase. In addition of is not an option.

Some of the words must follow specific prepositions after them like,
Accused of (accused of a crime).
Accustomed to (accustomed to a life of luxury).
Acquainted with (acquainted with him).
Addicted to (addicted to gambling).
Afraid of (afraid of dogs).
Agreeable to (agreeable to the idea).

Always sentences should follow parallelism, as the word in the second sentence is sponsoring parallel word will be enhancing.

We should not put "ING" form after to. So, I think it's to enhance their reputations.

If we seek the parallelism here than only option which is parallel with "sponsoring " is "enhancing".

To follows only first form so can't we use to enhance their reputation.
