The auctioning of pollution permits seems like a valid approach, but I feel like legal controls might be the odd one out.

Ah, I see what they're going for. D, legal controls to limit pollution levels, is the correct answer. Gotta keep those industries in check!

I'm leaning towards A, taxes on the consumption of the product. Hitting the consumers where it hurts might be the best way to discourage pollution.
