E is awkword. Out of ABC the second use of its after the country is problematic, as its may refer wither to restaurants or the country.

Though not looking too natural I will go with D, that fixes this error and tries to make an opening modifier that correctly modify opening statement after comma.

I think in "D"
"its" has referent problem.
I think the choice is between A and B
only diff. between the two is use of perfect tense, since sentence need perfect tense 'A' should be the right answer

B and C use SALES INCREASED. Sales are still increasing so we need to use HAVE INCREASED and also in C MANY RESTS and ITS can not be used together

D says HAVING ADDED ... which distorts the meaning, company is still groing

In E having its sales increase..WRONG!

A is the winner.

C is passive.

D and E is wrong in sincs the possessive "its" is referring to the possessive company's sales.

In B the verb increased is not parallel with the "have added" .

there fore A .
