A. People do love their cars, but sometimes finding alternate modes of transportation is a better option.
B. This provides a chance to be in the fresh air and to get some much-needed exercise.
C. Although many people prefer driving a private automobile, there are occasions when this is not a good option.
D. Gas prices just keep going up.

Ninguna  porque todo esta correcto  

D. Gas prcies just keep going up.

Explanation:

The previous sentence, "with gas prices so high..." already stresses the price of gas, leading to the importance of walking or riding a bike. It goes on to talk about other benefits including fresh air and exercise. It is incorrect to go back onto gas prices; thus, this sentence is not only out of place, but it doesn't belong.

Hope this helps!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
