Solution

The correct option is A Clean Development Mechanism
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol by which Annex B parties countries having emission reduction targets can earn saleable Certified Emission Reduction (CER) units by investing in projects, programmes or policies in developing countries which result in emission reduction. Developing countries thus get the benefit of technology transfer through this mechanism.
