A. buying shares in the ACME Corporation can result in a loss of double or even more than double - redundant , atleast twice or atleast double conveys the point
B. to buy shares in the ACME Corporation can result in a loss of double or even more than double - redundant, atleast twice or atleast double conveys the point
C. buying shares in the ACME Corporation results in a loss of at least twice
Twice = is an Adverb so it modifies verb, adjective or another adverb
Double = is an Adjective so it modifies noun
In this case, your initial investment is a noun phrase therefore, double must be used, twice is used incorrectly.
D. buying shares in the ACME Corporation can result in a loss of at least double - double is an adjective so it modifies noun correctly.
E. buying shares in the ACME Corporation can result in loss of at least twice - twice is an adverb therefore it cannot modify noun.
Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
