Having a bit of trouble on this question, though I can see how the answer I chose (B) is incorrect. However, the correct answer A reads to me as more like something that would Strengthen Henry's argument rather than necessarily Weaken Umit's objection. I realize it's a subtle difference but my brain is kind of stuck on it and the issue of interpreting LSAT question stems like this in the future.
Because yes, answer choice A does Strengthen Henry's argument by focusing on urban pollution, but I guess in my mind, Umit's point about more pollution overall isn't necessarily weakened. There could be a ton more air pollution produced by the power plants that would still worsen pollution levels (in a given area? on earth?) even if urban centers aren't as immediately impacted.
I assume this might just require close reading and POE to choose the correct answer, but I still think, at least in this case, it's less of a "strong counter to the objection" and moreso "more support to initial argument," if that makes sense.
