B) conversion
C) dispersion
D) convection

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Strong winds increase the dispersion of pollutants by carrying them away from their source and dispersing them over a larger area, leading to lower pollutant concentrations. Inversion, on the other hand, is a weather phenomenon where warm air sits on top of cold air, trapping pollutants close to the surface. Conversion and convection are not directly related to reducing pollutant concentrations.
