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

Solution as per OA: E.

Reason pls

"had" indicated past perfect, so we need the present perfect "have" to match "has found." Thus, A and B are out.

In a case like this, when we have two verbs back-to-back, "elected" "retiring/to retire", the GMAT prefers the infinitive over the participle for the 2nd verb.

That eliminates C.

When we compare D and E, the final piece of the puzzle is parallelism. "to retire" is parallel with "face." Both are infinitive. E is correct.
