I. China and the U.S. had low $CO_2$ emissions between 2010 and 2014.
II. Brazil and Luxembourg had high $CO_2$emissions between 2010 and 2014.
III. France and Spain had the same amount of $CO_2$ emissions due to deforestation for food production during that time.
A. All statements are supported by the information.
B. Statements II and III are supported by the information.
C. Only statement III is supported by the information.
D. None of the statements are supported by the information.
参考答案: D
本题详细解析:
Statement I is not supported becaukudt+2,* n-ih39 ich z x8xtbmse the value here is per capita for only one source of emissions. Both of these countries have high populations and are world leaders ondh8xxz,b +unmki2-itc h39*t $CO_2$emissions, releasing emissions from other sources.
Similarly, statement II is not supported because the value here is per capita for only one source of emissions. Besides this, Luxembourg had less than 1 million people so their total emissions would be expected to be lower than most.
Statement III is not supported as the populations of France and Spain are different, so total emissions due to deforestation for food production would be different even though the value per capita is the same.
As a result, option D is the correct answer.
