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

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'.

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.
