C looks like the most appropriate answer for me. A is wordy, D and E make no sense at all and I do not know why we should work with the ing-form in this kind of sentence. Please correct me if I am wrong :) THX

"implementation of" is the correct idiom. Rest of the options are unidiomatic and do not convey the intended meaning.

Answer : A

A major challenge faced by building crews working on skyscrapers is the implementation of safety measures for crew members assigned to the highest parts of the building under construction.

A) the implementation of
B) implementing
C) to implement
D) implemented
E) an implementing of

We can quickly understand that it is a challenge that has existed in the past, is present today and will continue for in future. Hence we can eliminate Options C and D. An implementing is the wrong usage. An can only be followed by implementation. Hence E is eliminated. This leaves us with options of A and B. The problem with B is that it lacks a suitable preposition that can connect it with safety measures. This is only given in A.
