Responding to a pm:
Look at the main sentence (remove the modifiers, bring it down to essentials)
The programs are geared to enhance athletes' performance and their preparation for international competition.
The programs can enhance performance of the athletes but they cannot enhance the preparation of the athletes. The programs can prepare the athletes for international competition. Focus on the meaning.
Hence the parallel elements have to be 'enhancing the performance of athletes' and 'preparing them'

Since the subject of the sentence is "The Sports Medicine Programs", you correctly identified that the corrected sentence needs to begin with "are". So, that narrows it down to C,D,E.
As for the question of C vs. E
C: "Athletes' performance and their preparation" is incorrect because it should be "Athletes' performance and preparation"
D: Similar issue to D, since it uses them
In E, there are no issues and thus it's the correct answer.
