Our cities are extremely vulnerable to climate change because of large concentrations of populations and poor infrastructure. Moreover, population densities are increasing in them but we have not yet developed the systems to address climate change impacts. Our cities contribute to 65 percent of the GDP, but there are not enough facilities to cater to the needs of the people. It is important to address the issues of air quality, transport, etc., that are vital to identifying sustainable solutions. We need to involve citizens in city planning and create an ecosystem that meets the needs of people. Which among the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the passage given above ?

Option (a) is incorrect: The passage primarily discusses the vulnerability of cities to climate change due to population concentrations and poor infrastructure, not administrative problems related to lack of autonomy. Option (b) is incorrect: While the passage mentions increasing population densities in cities, the main focus is on their vulnerability to climate change impacts rather than administrative issues. Option (c) is correct: The passage emphasizes the need for sustainable solutions to address issues such as air quality and transportation in cities, indicating a need for interventions that prioritize long-term environmental sustainability. Option (d) is incorrect: Although the passage advocates for citizen involvement in city planning, it does not specifically mention the role of the private sector in addressing climate change impacts or infrastructure development.
