D Correct answer
Explanation

To abolish means to put an end to, do away with, or completely get rid of something, particularly a practice, institution, or system. 'To do away with' correctly captures this meaning as an infinitive phrase expressing the action of elimination. The incorrect options either have wrong word order (do to away with) or are incomplete phrases (do away with without 'to', the act off).
