(A) caring for children with food allergies increased, with families now spending an estimate of
'caring' does not cost anything, 'providing care' does; the last century is being discussed so the resultant spending should be consistent with the tense of the previous decade
(B) providing care for children with food allergies has increased, with families now collectively spending an estimated
'has' is used to show something that started in the past and continued to the present but here the intended meaning states that something already happened in the last decade.
'now' is wrong for the same reason mentioned in A
families collectively spending means that the families spend something together - like the families collectively threw a party => intended meaning is to provide the total estimate spent by families (they could be spending individually)
(C) caring for children with food allergies increased, families having spent an estimated
Same as A
(D) providing care for children with food allergies has increased, with families now spending a collective estimate of
same as B
(E) providing care for children with food allergies increased, with the result that families spent an estimated
CORRECT

"cost of caring" is ambiguous. Hence, A and C are out.
"collective estimate" is nonsensical. Hence, D is out.
Choice E indicates that amount actually spent was equal to the estimated amount that was more or less throughout the last decade due to use of the words "per year". This sentence is entirely in past tense and makes less sense along with usage of the time marker "throughout the last decade". Hence, E is out.
The answer is B because it is clear as stated.
"collective estimate" is nonsensical. Hence, D is out.

(A) caring for children with food allergies increased, with families now spending an estimate of
The sense of the sentence is to talk about the spending of the families that is spent now, to point out the big amount resulted after the increase, so this answer is correct
(B) providing care for children with food allergies has increased, with families now collectively spending an estimated
The first part of the sentence talked about last decade, the cost increased, which means that the action took place in the past, so present perfect is not correct, Wrong answer
(C) caring for children with food allergies increased, families having spent an estimated
The sense of the sentence is to talk about the spending of the families that is spent now, to point out the big amount resulted after the increase, not what the families have spent till now, wrong answer
(D) providing care for children with food allergies has increased, with families now spending a collective estimate of
The first part of the sentence talked about last decade, the cost increased, which means that the action took place in the past, so present perfect is not correct, Wrong answer
(E) providing care for children with food allergies increased, with the result that families spent an estimated
"with the result that families ..." could be said in a much less words
