Solution

The correct option is A Mitigate the climatic change
The Kyoto protocol is an international treaty, which extends the 1992 'United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change' (UNFCCC), that commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gases emissions. The Kyoto protocol implemented the objective of the UNFCCC to fight global warming by reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere to a level, that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.
