Hi，

IMHO
1) alone VS  if only because---> . the author wants
to convey the meaning of " just for one major/ particular reason, the construction is wasteful

a/  'alone' in the end sounds awkward.  U can not figure out what does it mean at once...misleading meaning such as "facilities alone"
<which means just avoiding duplicated facilities, not anything else>

b/  if one because: clearly point out one reason for the wastful construction is ###.

2)  logic-->avoiding facilities VS avoid duplication

B emphsize the avioding facilities(duplicated modifies facilities)
e emphsize the action of duplication.               imo, e wins in logic .

3) subjunctive mood
e has a implicit meaning of " IF U JUST consider the matter of duplication, the construction WOULD be a wasteful thing"
but acually " Building large new hospitals is a wasteful use of resources.

我当时也觉得alone用得比较灵异。。。
从逻辑上理解，这道题还是挺清晰的
thx

B有歧义：
on the grounds of （avoiding duplicated facilities alone）
on the grounds of avoiding （duplicated facilities alone）
   另外逻辑上来讲，应该是避免duplication of facilities

B 中 avoiding duplicated facilities 的意思是"避免基础设备"，根据上下文语意错，逻辑不对。
