Taylor is living downwind from a smelly feedlot where pigs are raised, which is a perfect example of someone bearing the burden of a negative production externality. The smelly feedlot is producing a negative externality (bad smell) that affects Taylor (neighbor), who has no control over it. Jess's roommate smoking can also be a negative externality, but it's more of a consumption externality. Lynna's neighbors playing loud music is also an example of a negative externality, but it's a consumption externality rather than production externality. Therefore, option A is the best choice as it is a clear example of a negative production externality.
