Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Command and control policies involve specific regulations and restrictions on pollution emissions by individual entities. This is the most direct form of pollution control, as the government sets a specific limit on how much pollution each entity can emit. Other options, such as cap and trade or carbon sharing systems, may not necessarily regulate individual polluters to the same extent. The precautionary principle is a broader philosophical concept for decision-making and may not directly relate to pollution control measures.
