Answer:

D). Despite massive federal subsidies to public transportation systems and major local efforts to persuade.

Explanation:

As per the question, option D most appropriately revises the underlined part of the sentence('In spite....persuade') as <u>it is syntactically and semantically coherent. It precisely follows parallelism(plural form in 'federal subsidies..transportation systems and local efforts') that gives a clear and comprehensive meaning</u>. The other options are incorrect as they either contain parallelism error(inappropriate use of 'subsidizing' in option A) or unnecessarily uses the verb form('at persuading' in option B and 'making' in option C). Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
