Solution

The correct options are
A

Carpooling.


C

Increased usage of CNG compared to petrol and diesel.


Carpooling is the sharing of car rides where more than one person travels in a car. Having fewer cars on the road means reduced Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and improved air quality.

Trees take in carbon dioxide and other pollutants which causes air pollution.

CNG is preferred over petrol as it is a clean-burning fuel.

When fossil fuels are burnt, they release carbon dioxide, methane and other pollutants in the atmosphere.

Hence only carpooling method can be employed to reduce air pollution.
