Environmentalists support the building of a waste-to-energy plant—which doubles as both a power plant and trash incinerator—despite the fact that it will produce more air pollution than gas-fired power plant.

We’re told that the environmentalists support the waste-to-energy plant rather than the gas-fired one, but we’re not told exactly why. Given that the waste-to-energy plant also serves as a trash incinerator, it’s likely that this additional function is what makes it preferable to a gas-fired plant.

The environmentalists’ position would be justified by an answer that describes an advantage to having a power-plant with a trash-incinerating function.

This is irrelevant. The stimulus already establishes that the gas-fired plant pollutes less than the waste-to-energy one. It doesn’t matter how modern pollution compares to past pollution.

It’s irrelevant how current levels of energy demand and trash volume compare to past levels. The correct answer needs to help justify the environmentalists’ support for the waste-to-energy plant despite the pollution it creates.

This describes an advantage to building the waste-to-energy plant, so it helps justify the environmentalists’ position. (C) tells us that building this plant could potentially reduce total pollution.

This does nothing to support the environmentalists’ position because the waste-to-energy plant pollutes more than the gas-fired one does. We need an answer that helps justify their support for the waste-to-energy plant.

The environmentalists are concerned with comparing the effects of different power plants; other sources of pollution are irrelevant to this comparison.
