Solution

The correct option is A Sound insulation
The green muffler is a device for decreasing the amount of noise emitted by the exhaust of an internal combustion engine. It is a planning cum technique used for reducing noise pollution by planting trees around the populated and noisy places. Under Green Muffler scheme Ashoka and Neem plants are planted near resident localities to reduce noise pollution. The rationale behind planting rows of trees is that dense trees filter out the noise and obstruct it from reaching the people. The trees act as the bulwark for the loud noise coming from industries, urban areas and noisy places.
Hence the correct answer is 'Sound insulation'.
