Question

Case Study: A city notices that in areas with higher traffic congestion, the levels of air pollution are also higher. The city council concludes that reducing traffic will directly improve air quality.

Which of the following is the most accurate evaluation of the city council’s conclusion?

Options

Reducing traffic will definitely lead to improved air quality, as the two are directly related.

The higher traffic levels may contribute to pollution, but other factors like industrial emissions or weather patterns could also be influencing air quality.

Air quality decreases because there are fewer cars on the road, and the remaining cars produce more pollution.

The relationship between traffic and air quality is purely coincidental and has no causal connection.
