    B a decrease in renewable energy usage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C widespread environmental complacency Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D an immediate end to all industrial activity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The rise in global temperatures typically leads to efforts aimed at reducing or mitigating climate change.

    (1) a rapid increase in climate change mitigation efforts – the most logical and contextually appropriate outcome.

    (2) a decrease in renewable energy usage – counterintuitive, as rising temperatures often lead to increased focus on sustainability.

    (3) widespread environmental complacency – not plausible given the context of rising temperatures.

    (4) an immediate end to all industrial activity – unrealistic and extreme in response to temperature rise.
