The correct answer is d. An archaeological excavation.

Its name is “Tsumon Otsukacho Ruins”!!
It looks like the survey will continue until March 3 next year〜

* It seems that when carrying out civil engineering or construction work in an area containing buried cultural properties, notification is required under the Cultural Properties Protection Act. →Here
* The planned hospital site is within this area.

* Captured from Nishinomiya WebGIS Nishinomiya City Geographic Information System

There are other archaeological sites spread out around this one as well.
Surveys have apparently been progressing little by little over the past few years, and pottery and other items from the Yayoi period through the Nara period have been found!!

I was surprised to learn there was even an ancient burial mound!! * It no longer exists today.
It feels like something might turn up at the Tsumon Otsukacho Ruins too〜 🔎

By the way, there was also a construction sign for the hospital↓

Construction is scheduled to start on December 1 this year, but since the archaeological survey runs until March next year, the construction period might change!
