The question puts forth the meaning: Besides enhancing reputation, the companies are sponsoring social initiatives. Here is the concept of parallelism: enhancing should be parallel with sponsoring.
Use of 'Of " is wrong in option A,
To having should be followed by enhanced, which is ruled out in option B,
Option D is wordy and wrong.
So, C is correct.
