Answer: A) Under emissions trading programs, pollution levels will not fall sufficiently for optimal abatement.

Explanation:

First conceived in the seventies to fight acid rain and now useful in the battle against climate change, emissions trading is a program targeted at reducing emission by companies.

Under this scheme, every company that produces emissions will need to hold a permit for a limited amount. If they produce more than their stated limit, they would need to buy from other permit holders who produce lower emissions.  

While this program can set a limit of total emissions, it will not succeed in reducing pollution levels below this limit.
