• BReducing the impact of congestion on operations
• CIncreasing the frequency of truck rolls.
• DPrivatizing the utilities industry

  90% (47)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  6% (3)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Grid upkeep (A) is correct because maintaining the electrical grid - including power lines, transformers, substations, and distribution infrastructure - is the core operational priority of utilities companies, directly ensuring reliable delivery of electricity, gas, or water to customers.

B is wrong because congestion management is primarily a concern of the transportation industry, not utilities. C is incorrect because utilities actually aim to reduce truck rolls (field technician dispatches) through smart grid technology and remote monitoring, as frequent rolls increase costs. D is a policy/political debate, not an operational focus of the industry itself.

Memory tip: Think of "utilities" as the infrastructure that keeps the lights on - and infrastructure only works if it's maintained. "Grid upkeep = utilities' job."
