The best option to address the situation of cave-in risk due to excess soil accumulation and potential water accumulation is **Correctly Placed Spoils**.
Proper placement of excavated soil (spoils) is crucial to prevent cave-ins and manage water accumulation effectively. Spoils should be placed at a safe distance from the edge of the excavation to reduce the risk of soil sliding into the excavation and causing instability.
Additionally, managing water accumulation through proper drainage and avoiding water pooling will also help enhance the safety of the excavation site.
