(A) they caution against doing too much too soon.
This is the correct answer choice. It clearly and precisely communicates the intended meaning of the sentence. "They" correctly refers to the physiciansSajjadAhmad
(B) doing too much too soon is cautioned against by them.
Although no apparent major errors, this answer choice is in the passive voice. Choice A) clearly conveys the meaning betterSajjadAhmad
(C) but cautioning against doing too much too soon.
The first part of the sentence is a dependent clause (DC), which requires a independent clause (IC) attached. With the introduction of "but", this DC remains without a IC attached. Incorrect.SajjadAhmad
(D) yet caution against doing too much too soon.
Same as C)SajjadAhmad
(E) it is cautioned against to do too much too soon.
