Best Answer
You don't need
adjustbox
for this table, if you simply use thel
specifier for the last column. It all can be done with thethreeparttable
andtablenotes
environments. I also took the liberty to replace your\hline
s with rules from thebooktabs
package, and add some vertical padding to the rows with\addlinespace
from the same package:
