It is either of the two arguments.

Pollution in the upper atmosphere is equally hazardous.

According to me, the right answer is Option (C).

Both the points are valid there, A does not seem to be the right answer.

The Upper layer pollution affect the Ozone layer.

E must be the answer because argument 2 is strong enough with respect to the 1st one.

Setika Nag said:   7 years ago
Yes, option A. Pollution at ground level is reduced so argument I is correct but argument 2 states negatively state that pollution in the upper atmosphere increases so ground level pollution is acceptable.
