D: as the poster above was trying to explain, "work at xxxxx" is not an idiomatic expression here.
even if you don't know this, though, you should still be able to pick (a) over (d), because (a) is more direct and efficient in its language.
i.e., even if (d) were idiomatic (it isn't), it would still be inferior to (a):
works ... at the prevention of X
vs.
prevents X
there's no question which of these has greater economy of expression.
