(A) (B) & (C) use 'and added' which is wrong. 'And' should not be used as a conjunction here.

'as having left' is awkward in (E)

(D) is clear n concise. 'adding' is correctly used to join the previous action with the later action. - Correct.

IMO A.

Parallelism

.. is estimated to have left .....and added to.......

D) It is estimated that during the 1980s approximately $50 billion in private investment capital left Mexico, adding

doesn't -adding-modify the whole clause - 'It is estimated that during the 1980s approximately $50 billion in private investment capital left Mexico'

I have no doubts on - During the 1980s approximately $50 billion in private investment capital left Mexico,adding......

But I am little skeptic about - It is estimated that during the 1980s approximately $50 billion in private investment capital left Mexico,adding........
