Suppose that after a storm an inspection needs to be made of the sewers along the streets in a small village to make sure local flooding is not due to clogging. Which technique is most likely to be useful in solving this problem?
A) Finding an Euler circuit on a graph
B) Applying the nearest-neighbor algorithm for the traveling salesman problem
C) Applying Kruskal's algorithm for finding a minimum-cost spanning tree for a graph
D) None of these techniques is likely to apply

Finding an Euler circuit on a graph is most useful for this scenario because it allows for the inspection of every edge (in this case, every street or sewer segment) without repeating any, ensuring a thorough and efficient inspection route.
