A recent study has found that within the past few years, many doctors had elected
early retirement rather than face the threats of lawsuits and the rising costs of
malpractice insurance.
(A) had elected early retirement rather than face
(B) had elected early retirement instead of facing
(C) have elected retiring early instead of facing
(D) have elected to retire early rather than facing
(E) have elected to retire early rather than face

IMO (D) idiomatic

Please use spoilers buddy. With the answers revealed, not wishing to solve the problem.

IMO (E)
A recent study has found that within the past few years, many doctors had elected
early retirement rather than face the threats of lawsuits and the rising costs of
malpractice insurance.
(A) had elected early retirement rather than face
(B) had elected early retirement instead of facing
(C) have elected retiring early instead of facing
(D) have elected to retire early rather than facing
(E) have elected to retire early rather than face
Error #1 : "had elected" The time frame is within the past few years - you have to use a present perfect tense and not a past perfect tense.

(A),(B) -> Wrong

Error #2 : Rather than & Instead of -> "X instead of Y" or "X rather than Y" -> X and Y require parallelism.

(A), (B) & (D) -> Wrong

(C) is wrong when you evaluate the non underlined succeeding portion of the sentence.

A and B can be eliminated for using "had elected early retirement", which is nonsensical.

C uses "have elected retiring early"; "have elected" should be followed by an infinitive rather than an -ing verb.

D and E both use "have elected to retire early", but D is not parallel: have elected...to retire...rather than facing.

E gets it right: "have elected to retire..rather than face...
