C. To force Simon Paper to move to a new​ "green" facility in​ Greenville, SC. D. To force Simon Paper to hire pollution reduction specialists.

Answer 1

B. A tax on Simon Paper for exceeding certain levels of pollution.

Step-by-step explanation:

By law, they cannot force Simon out of business.

Forcing him to move to a new "green" facility will not make the problem disappear, it will only move the problem to Greenville.

The only solution is taxing him for exceeding certain levels of pollution.
