Using the -ING modifier "Living on the outskirts of town" correctly combines the two sentences and makes it clear that the reason for not being able to ride the bus to work is due to the location of living on the outskirts of town. Option A is incorrect as the modifier is in the wrong position, making the sentence unclear and grammatically incorrect.
