Explanation:

Explaination

Corrects the misuse of phrasal verb for noun. ‘Breakout’ is a phrasal verb meaning ‘to start or appear suddenly’ while ‘out break’ is a noun meaning ‘sudden appearance’. A preposition or an article is used before a noun, not a verb. Use preposition ‘before’ in place of ‘for’ because a preventive measure is taken before the appearance of epidemic.

Hence, the option D is correct.
