Here goes the explanation for E

The message that this sentence is trying to convey is that if you are building the new hospital just because the duplication of the facilities needs to be avoided, then you are wasting the resources. Only E conveys this meaning perfectly.

In other words, the underlined part is a modifier and it should modify the words "Building new hospitals". Only E does that perfectly

Am I making sense?
