Correct Answer is: B

Choice B is the best revision because it removes the unnecessary repetition of "to" and uses a more concise and grammatically correct structure. The original sentence is grammatically correct, but it is wordy and could be more concise. Choice A does not change the sentence. Choice C is incorrect because it uses a comma splice; the comma does not link two complete thoughts. Choice D is incorrect because it uses a comma and then a participial phrase, making the sentence unnecessarily long and awkward.
