Plz explain the answer
Was stuck between B and C..but C should be my choice.

(A) on the basis of avoidance of duplicated facilities alone:INCORRECT ->"avoidance of duplicated.." awkward construction.

(B) on the grounds of avoiding duplicated facilities alone::INCORRECT ->Misplaced alone

(C) solely in that duplicated facilities should be avoided:CORRECT ->the duplication of facilities be avoided and hence constitute a wasteful use of resources

(D) while the duplication of facilities should be avoided:INCORRECT ->"duplication of facilities" again awkward construction

(E) if only because the duplication of facilities should be avoided. :INCORRECT ->too wordy
