Final answer:
None of the provided options accurately represent the greater amount of carbon emission pollution between the listed countries and the UK. The United States and China emit vastly higher amounts of CO2 than the figures represented by the answer choices.
Step-by-step explanation:
The United Kingdom is responsible for approximately 1 x 104 kilograms of carbon emissions pollution each year, but when comparing it with other countries, we can determine which country is responsible for greater carbon emission pollution annually. Given the options provided, and using the data reference, we can deduce that the United States is the largest emitter on the list, with emissions of 5.15 Gigatonnes (Gt) per year. When translated to the scale of the problem posed, where options are given in 104 kilograms:
- The United States emissions would be substantially higher than 1 x 104 kilograms, indicating that option A) is incorrect because the U.S. emits much more than 3 x 104 extra kilograms.
- China, known as the largest emitter today with 9.4 Gt per year, also surpasses the United Kingdom's emissions by far more than 2 x 104 kilograms, making option B) incorrect.
- India's emissions would also be greater than the UK's, more than the 1.5 x 104 kilograms suggested, so option C) is not correct.
- Brazil, while a large country, is not among the top contributors such as the U.S., China, or India, hence option D) is likely incorrect as well.
Therefore, none of the options correctly represent the data provided. The United States and China are responsible for significantly more carbon emission pollution each year than the other countries listed, in volumes much greater than
