Consider the following statements:Statement I: Circular economy reduces the emissions of greenhouse gases.Statement II: Circular economy reduces the use of raw materials as inputs.Statement III: Circular economy reduces wastage in the production process.Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?

1. A

   Both Statement II and Statement III are correct and both of them explain Statement I

   Both II and III are correct and both explain I. Using fewer raw materials and wasting less in production are why a circular economy cuts greenhouse gases.

2. B

   Both Statement II and Statement III are correct but only one of them explains Statement I

   Both correct but only one explains I. The official reading lets both explain I.

3. C

   Only one of the Statements II and III is correct and that explains Statement I

   Only one of II and III correct. Both hold.

4. D

   Neither Statement II nor Statement III is correct

   Neither. Both hold.

Summary. Official Set A key is (a). A circular economy keeps materials in use. That reduces virgin-input demand (II) and process waste (III). Both cut energy and process emissions, so both explain why greenhouse gases fall (I). Do not split them.
