At first glance, this is a test of parallelism...both X and Y. A supports both parallel elements & this is likely a sub-600 level question.

When we see a parallelism marker "both/and, look for parallel structure after "both" and "are".
Choice A : both ESPOUSE (Verb) ..... and ADVOCATE (Verb)....... Correct
Also, the only singular noun for "its" is "vaccination". So no pronoun ambiguity.
A. Doctors both espouse the benefits of the influenza vaccination and advocate its administration
B. Doctors both espouse the benefits of the influenza vaccination and are advocating its administration
both ESPOUSE (present tense)....and ARE ADVOCATING (progressive tense) . For telling facts, use simple present tense
C. Doctors, espousing the benefits of the influenza vaccination, advocate their administration
"Espousing" is a modifier and not a verb here. This modifier is providing a non essential information. The actual sentence now says , "Doctors advocate
their administration..!!! This is nonsensical because it means Doctors advocate DOCTORS administration.
D. Both espousing the benefits of the influenza vaccination, the doctors advocate its administration
We need two parties if we use BOTH i.e., Both X and Y are best friends. But here we have only "Doctors".
Also, this sentence is a disaster in the meaning even if we correct its grammar.
E. Espousing the benefits of the influenza vaccination, its administration is advocated by doctor
After the comma, we need a doer who is espousing the benefits. But here we have "its administration" , and this construction is incorrect.
Word "Doctor" is missing. Meaning is also an issue here as doctors do two things as per the original sentence - They "espouse" and "advocate".
