Solution

The correct option is A CNG
In 1998, the Supreme Court published a Directive that specified the date of April 2001 as deadline to replace or convert all busses, three-wheelers and taxis to CNG. In addition, the Directive specified that an infrastructure of 70 CNG refuelling stations had to be made available, and asked for financial incentives for the conversion of vehicle fleets.

In January 1998, the National Capital Region of Delhi set up a Commission to study, write and publish a report on the air pollution problem in Delhi. CSE was a member of this Commission. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the fossil fuels are not environment-friendly, hence, incorrect.
