According to a recent survey of municipal services, the city’s

streets could be cleaner, its fire code be better
                enforced, and

its crime rate reduced if the current adrninistration improved its

management practices.

A,be better enforced, and its crime rate reduced

B,better enforced, and its crime rate reduced

C,could be better enforced, and kit could reduce its crime rate

D,better enforced, and its crime rate could reduce

E,could be better en forced, and its crime rate reduce

以前的讨论都说是b或c

我觉得a是正确的，因为根据白勇语法，must/can/may/could do and do,这样a省略了could，然后只剩下be，由于其作用不同所以不能省略，但是到了第三个分句的时候，其be动词和第二个分句的be作用一样都是被动，所以省略了，也就是说句子是这样的city's streets could be clear, its fire code (could) be better, and its crime rate (could) (be) reduced.

A,be better enforced, and its crime rate reduced

B,better enforced, and its crime rate reduced

 A中的省略：   its fire code ( could) be better enforced, and its crime rate ( could) ( be)  reduced;

B中的省略： its fire code（could）（be）better enforced ,and tis crime rate (could ) ( be)  reduced.

B的省略看起来更加对称。
