Please leave an explanation for the following
If a person chooses to walk rather than drive, there is one less vehicle emitting pollution into the air than there would be otherwise. Therefore, if people would walk whenever it is feasible for them to do so, then pollution will be greatly reduced.
Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A If automobile passengers who never drive walk instead of ride, there will not be fewer vehicles on the road as a result.
B Nonmoving running vehicles, on average, emit half as much pollution per second as moving vehicles, but the greater congestion, the more nonmoving vehicles there are
C Since different vehicles can pollute at different rates, it is possible for one driver who walks to make a greater contribution to pollution.
D On average, buses pollute more than cars do, but buses usually carry more passengers than cars do.
E Those who previously rode as passengers in a vehicle whose driver decides to walk instead of drive might themselves decide to drive | | | | | | | |

SKII , the answer to this is B according to me, coz that is the only sentence which is in favour of walking instead of driving | | | | | | | |
