The Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, which occurred approximately 65.5 million years ago, increased the volcanic activity across the earth, to result in a large-scale mass extinction of animal and plant species in a geologically short period of time and deposit a thin band of sedimentation across the earth’s landmass.

A- to result in a large-scale mass extinction of animal and plant species in a geologically short period of time and deposit - Use of "TO RESULT" changes the original intent since such use means that Extinction event happened only to cause Mass extinction. Same is the case with use of DEPOSIT.
B- resulting in extinction of large animal and plant species in a geologically short period of time and deposition
- Place of LARGE changes the original intent. Moreover, use of DEPOSITION doesn't maintains Parallelism.
C- to result in a large-scale mass extinction of animal and plant species in a geologically short period of time and thereby depositing
Use of "TO RESULT" changes the original intent since such use means that Extinction event happened only to cause Mass extinction. Use of "THEREBY" changes the original intent since such use means that Mass Extinction caused Deposition.
D- resulting in large-scale extinction of animal and plant species in a geologically short period of time and depositing - Correct
E- to result in massive mass extinction of animal and plant species in a geologically short period of time and thereby depositing
As explained in option C

'To result' implies intention, which is irrelevant in this case. resulting expound impact or consequence, which we want here. Drop A, C, and E. Between B and D, B is unparallel with 'resulting' and 'deposition'. D says 'resulting and depositing' - a clear winner.
