Answer 1

The government’s decision to pass the Clean Air Act of 1970 reduced air pollutants and improved public health.

Reason: The Clean Air Act was specifically intended to control and reduce air pollution to protect public health. The other options describe actions not primarily aimed at air-quality improvement (FEMA doesn't regulate air quality, hazard mitigation programs and disaster declarations have different primary aims).
