2. on the grounds of avoiding duplicated facilities alone.
3. solely in that duplicated facilities should be avoided.
4. while the duplication of facilities should be avoided
5. if only because the duplication of facilities should be avoided.
Option 3, 4 and 5 -> changing the meaning of the original sentence.
Between 1 and 2 option 2 is more direct.
Hence Correct choice 2.

I think its always used as "on the grounds of" which means "on the basis of", and it says "avoiding duplicated facilities alone" which means only one reason.
