Explanation / Answer
C)
1- John can live near to the workplace (closer than 20 miles) which will reduce the total distance he travels everyday and in turn reduce the gasoline usage
2- Instead of using a car to travel to and fro at workplace, John can use public transport for the travel which will not only reduce his gasoline usage but will significantly reduce the cost of traveling.
