Explanation / Answer

Answer.) E.) The government sets a cap on emissions. Firms are given permits by the government to emit pollutants and have the right to trade the permits with each other.

The cap puts a limit on gas emissions which from time to time is lowered to reduce and control the amount of toxins released by pollutants into the atmosphere. The trade, on the other hand, builds a ready market for carbon permits helping industries and companies and factories to innovate so that they can meet their allocated emission limit.
