A proposed earth embankment requires 50,000 cubic meters of soil. The soil will be compacted to a void ratio of 0.75 when it is placed in the embankment. There are four available borrow pits, designated A, B, C, and D. The void ratio of the soil in each pit and the cost per cubic meter for moving the soil to the proposed construction site are shown as follows:

Determine which borrow pit is the most economical.
