Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitigation involves taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or enhance carbon sinks. Double the fuel economy of two billion cars would reduce their emissions and therefore qualify as a mitigation strategy. Assessing the economic value of the biosphere (A) does not necessarily address emissions reduction and sunlight screening (C) is a geoengineering solution that carries potential risks and uncertainties. Thus, B) is the correct answer.
