my answer is E

Most efforts to combat such mosquito-borne diseases as malaria and dengue have focused on either vaccinating humans or exterminating

"such as" is idiomatic.

"have focused" is a proper verb of the noun "efforts"

on either X or Y , not on either X or on Y. see the difference -"either on X, or on Y"

E is the right answer.
Such as should be used instead of like.
Either X or Y.
X and Y should be parallel.
