Q. Four alternative summaries are given below each text. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the text.

The movement to preserve the habitability of the Earth is in failure mode and we ought to ask why.The reason is neither a lack of effort by thousands of scientists, activists, and concerned citizens, nor a lack of information, data, logic and scientific evidence. On these counts the movement has grown impressively, as have the quality and quantity of scientific evidence and rational discourse on which it rests. But we must look more deeply at how this is going to manifest in the larger arena in which public attitudes are formed and the way in which this influences the conduct of the public business.

A. The movement to preserve the Earth’s habitability is tending to fail despite the efforts of scientists and activists and a vast store of information because it has not influenced people’s attitude and the way business is conducted.

B. Human induced damage is rampant on the Earth and the Earth has become an inhospitable place to live in. The movement to preserve the habitability of the Earth is still in its nascent stages. There is not adequate effort in this direction. People are not properly informed about the damage caused to the earth.

C. The movement which aims at making the Earth a more habitable place, is on the verge of a failure.The reason is not due to a lack of effort by scientists and activists nor due to a dearth of information,data logic and scientific evidence. In this respect the movement has grown impressively. But if we examine carefully it is evident that the movement is not able to influence the people and their attitudes in this regard.

D. The Earth is increasingly becoming an inhabitable place. The movement to preserve the Earth’s habitability is in failure mode. Although there is enough scientific evidence and rational discourse to support the movement, it is not gaining enough momentum because of the indifference of people.There is no conscious effort from scientists, activists and citizens to strengthen this movement.
