Question

Transportation of goods and services across the world releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide that lead to global warming. In order to reduce this, what step can be taken?

• A. The countries can provide incentives and subsidies to local producers to produce in their country and for their country only.
• B. The countries should ban exports and imports and rely on MNCs for production of goods and services.
• C. Container ships can be used wherein more items can be transported in a single trip.
• D. The countries can avoid international trade and only do trade within their own country.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Container ships can be used wherein more items can be transported in a single trip.

Due to globalization, millions of products travel from one country to another through various transportation modes like ships, trains, planes, and trucks. This causes air pollution. Therefore, container ships can be used wherein more items can be transported in a single trip. This also reduces transportation costs.
