The regulatory approach used in establishing a minimum level of fuel efficiency on new cars is command and control, which involves setting specific standards or limits on certain activities or products. In this case, the government is setting a requirement for the fuel efficiency of new cars to reduce global warming effects caused by burning fossil fuels. A tax (A) would involve charging a fee on the burning of fossil fuels, moral suasion (C) would involve appealing to people's sense of responsibility to reduce their carbon emissions voluntarily, and a marketable permit (D) would involve creating a market for emissions permits that can be bought and sold. None of these approaches are being used in this case.
