Solution

The correct option is D Removing horns from vehicles
Removing horns from vehicles is dangerous, and it might lead to accidents. Instead, the introduction of 'No honking zones' near hospitals, schools, and residential areas can help curb noise pollution. Other preventive measures include turning down the volume of loudspeakers and electronic devices. Planting trees also helps because they absorb a certain amount of sound and purify the air.
