Analyzing Alex’s medical reports, the doctor suggested that he be on bed rest for one month, eat healthy foods, stay away from alcohol, and spend time in a stress free environment.
1- meaning analysis : by analyzing the medical reports of Alex, the doctor suggested him few thing to do. what are these few things?
stay in be and rest for one month, eat healthy food, stay away from alcohol , and spend time in a stress free environment.
2- error analysis:
pronoun error: in Alex's medical reports Alex is a possessive noun and therefore the " He" pronoun cannot refer to it.
and from the subjunctive form of verbs in parts that are not underlined, we find out that the verb should be expressed in subjunctive mood.
3- POE:
a.) Analyzing Alex’s medical reports, the doctor suggested that he be on bed rest for one month,
b.) Analyzing the medical reports of Alex, the doctor suggested that he should be on bed rest for one month, should cannot be used by subjunctive verb
c.) Analyzing his medical reports, the doctor suggested Alex that he should be on bed rest for one month, notice: for clarity of meaning it is better that we have noun prior to the pronoun referring to it , but here we have pronoun prior to the noun
d.) Analyzing Alex’s medical reports, the doctor suggested that Alex be on bed rest for one month, in this option by repeating the noun Alex the pronoun error has been rectified
e.) Analyzing his medical reports, the doctor suggested Alex to be on bed rest for one month, suggested that is required

Since there is use of subjunctive verb suggest we need to have construction which has a construction as follows
Sub + sub.verb( suggest)+that+ subject + verb(plural form)
So options without that will be out. E is out
Second error : in the original sentence there is no pronoun antecedent for "he". So A and C are out
In option B use of should is incorrect with subjunctive verb.
Hence ans is D.
