IMO A because construction happened in the past.A present perfect tense would be wrong to use even though construction of sounds better.

B has tense error. For an event which occurred more than 100 year ago, present perfect tense cannot be used. Simple past should be used.

The perfect statement would have been - Concerns about public health led to the construction of three separate sewer systems between 1876 and 1904 to serve metropolitan Boston.

However, in the absence of the above statement, A is the best choice. It does not blatantly violate any grammar rule.

A. Concerns about public health led to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems to serve metropolitan Boston

In all these 5 sentences I could not found correct placement of this bold part ie between 1876 and 1904

I am feeling it awkward in all sentences..
