As in argument II,even if the pollution is released off in the upper atmosphere,it will indirectly harm the humans and animal life in the later period or in the long term.
According to me option C should be appropriate for this statement.

My opinion is also same, I didn't hope option 'A' was right, because as well as air also getting polluted and leads to green house effect, so I go with option 'C'.

I think both are strong. Upper atmosphere pollution also affects us indirectly.

I consider both to be strong. Even if it was in the upper atmosphere it still poses a threat to humans.

I also consider both points are valid, its like not throwing garbage in one of my room while throwing it in the other, pollution is hazardous both in lower and upper atmosphere.

I do agree with the answer given because there could be ways to avoid air pollution even at present Indian industries need to be first approved by committee of Air and Control act of 1981. So option A is perfect and to be justified.
