In several cities, the government is going ahead with ambitious construction projects despite the high office-vacancy rates in those cities. The vacant offices, though available for leasing, unfortunately do not meet the requirement for the facilities needed, such as court houses and laboratories. The government, therefore, is not guilty of any fiscal wastefulness.
問assumption
A. Adaptation of vacant office space to meet the government's requirements, if possible, woyuld not make leasing such office space a more cost-effective alternative to new construction.
D. The government's construction projects would not, on being completed, add to the stock of facilities available for leasing in the cities concerned.
正確答案是A
可是我在想究竟fiscal wastfulness到底是該歸咎於office vacancy or construction,照我所選的D來看,若construction 能為政府帶來收益(stock of facilities available),擇多出來的前不是也是一種wastefulness嗎??請各位幫幫忙

Sorry guys, I don't have a chinese keyboard right now. So, please bear with my english.

I think the point is that wastefulness is not equal to miss the opportunity of increaing incomes. Thus, A should be the best answer.
