The correct answer is
Only I follows

Analyzing Statement and Inferences

The core statement is about a company switching to renewable energy sources for its operations.

Evaluating Inference I: Reducing Carbon Footprint

  • Switching to renewable energy (like solar or wind) inherently means reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
  • Fossil fuel consumption is the primary driver of greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Therefore, adopting renewable energy directly supports the aim of reducing the company's carbon footprint.
  • Inference I logically follows from the statement.

Evaluating Inference II: Current Energy Source Costs

  • The statement only mentions the decision to switch to renewables.
  • It provides no information about the cost or expense of the company's current energy sources.
  • While cost might be a factor in such decisions, it is not explicitly stated or implied in the given information.
  • Therefore, Inference II does not necessarily follow from the statement.

Conclusion

Based on the analysis, only the first inference is directly supported by the provided statement.

Correct Option: Only I follows
