Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:

The richer States have a responsibility to cut down carbon emissions and promote clean energy investments. These are the States that got electricity, grew faster and now have high per capita income, making them capable of sharing India's burden of becoming eco-friendly. Delhi, for example, can help by generating its own clean electricity using solar rooftop panels or even help poor States finance their clean energy projects. It is no secret that State Electricity Boards, which control 95% of the distribution network, are neck-deep in losses. These losses further discourage State utilities from adopting renewable energy as it is more expensive than fossil fuels.

Which among the following is the most logical and rational assumption that can be made from the above passage?

Which among the following is the most logical and rational assumption that can be made from the above passage?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: (A) The richer States must lead in the production and adoption of renewable The passage argues that richer states, with their higher per capita income and capacity, should take the lead in reducing carbon emissions and promoting clean energy. This implies that they should be at the forefront of producing and adopting renewable energy sources. The passage does not state that poor states always have to depend on richer states for electricity or that state electricity boards can necessarily improve their finances through clean energy projects. It also does not explicitly link economic disparity to high carbon emissions, although it suggests that richer states are more capable of investing in clean energy.
