A) residents are less likely to be driving to their offices than to be taking public transport or getting a taxi ------------ at first usage of “to be” seems wrong. But “likely to” and “likely to be” both are correct idioms. It follows the parallel structure. “driving – than taking or getting”. CORRECT
B) residents are less likely to drive to their offices, and more to take public transport or to be getting a taxi ---------- “less likely and more likely” is an awkward construction. “take – or getting” is not parallel. INCORRECT.
C) residents are less likely to be driving to their offices, and more to be taking public transport or get a taxi ----------- “less likely and more to be” is an awkward const. “taking or get” is not parallel. INCORRECT
D) residents, less likely to be driving to their offices, take public transport or get a taxi ---- construction is awkward. INCORRECT
E) residents, instead of driving to their offices, are more likely to take public transport or getting a taxi ---------- “take – getting” not parallel. INCORRECT
