To express intent : Infinitives fit the bill best
...........the Massachusetts Turnpike uses a series of tollbooths.................: What is the Intent ? why are they using Tollbooths ? = thus Infinitives should be a natural choice
Thus B n C remain :
B : ........................ to fund construction and maintenance projects
C : ........................for funding projects of construction and maintenance : C is a bit awkward
The intent is : Revenue is collected to do what ? = Fund construction projects & maintenance projects
B & C does the same thing : But B does it concisely ( Conveying the same intent in a simplistic way )
(construction & maintenance projects) OUTWEIGHS (projects of construction & maintenance)
Leading to B , my take
