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

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

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

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.

Ex: 1 My brother asked me if he might record the interview in addition to taking notes.
Ex: 2 The cliff's sheer drop created a natural defense against any intruders in addition to providing a view that was breathtaking by day or night.

If is used as an infinitive then to + 1st form of the verb + is used.

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

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.
