D) signed the Kyoto Protocol along with other countries in order to reduce emissions around the world

Answer 1

Letter B is the correct answer.

The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that had as its main goal the reduction of Carbon Dioxide emissions. In order to do so, industrialized nations were expected to lessen their annual emissions of hydrocarbon 6, 7 or 8% by the year of 2012. Canada withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol since the country was unsure if it could meet its target goals in time.
