      Solution

      The statement talks about how the problem of frequent digging of roads (to lay phone and power cables, water and gas pipelines, etc) can be avoided or solved if the authorities lay permanent utility tunnels. B, C and D can be used to replace the highlighted phrase but A cannot be used to replace it. Option A states that the problem can be 'compensated' (meaning: repaid or reimbursed) which is not contextually appropriate here.
