Apologies for the confusion. I misunderstood your question. The correct answer is D. "Electric and hybrid cars are designed to last for 12 to 15 years." A potential counterclaim to the argument that driving electric or hybrid cars is the best way to cut down on air pollution could be that the manufacturing and disposal of electric and hybrid cars is environmentally harmful and offsets any potential reduction in air pollution during their lifespan.
