Answer 2

The correct answer is A, crime discourages.

Step-by-step explanation:

A place surrounded by surveillance cameras is less likely to be the target of a crime, for they record all activity in that area, facilitating the identification of criminals. When streets have better lighting they become safer, because they provide visibility, which makes the happening of crime without witnesses more difficult. Both these measures are taken to discourage crime, but they don't necessarily prevent it.
