Answer: B)

There are many clues to selecting B)

First, "building" from the first clause should be paralleled with "avoiding" in the second clause. This clue gives B) as the answer.
Second, "should" should be avoided in GMAT. Hence, C) D) E) are eliminated.
Third, of all the given options, only B) has the correct idiomatic phrase "on the grounds of .."
