• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Thermal inversion results in minimal mixing of air.

Less mixing of air causes pollutants to remain stagnant at the lower layer itself thereby aggravating the air pollution.
