Not too confident with this one but I think its A
B mis placed modifier "which"
C may be right, can't find anything readily wrong with it
D I think this is the wrong tense. The present perfect continuous is inappropriate
E this is awkward and I think the "and, in addition" is redundant.

(A) to which has been added English, Spanish and Italian words [for words@plural we need have]
(B) added to which is English, Spanish, and Italian words [again same subject-verb issue]
(C) to which English, Spanish, and Italian words have been added
(D) with English, Spanish, and Italian words having been added to it [words added to it IMV would've been better instead of having been]
(E) and, in addition, English, Spanish, and Italian words are added [in addition, added - redundancy as pointed by osirus0830
so my take is C, rest of choices just don't sound correct

i got C as well - thankfully... but I can't explain "scientifically" to myself why the others are incorrect... which i think is a skill that I need to develop.
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.
