I don’t understand why the answer is C . Can someone help me understand:
The government of Nation X makes policy decisions intended to advance the public interest, such as policy decisions aiming to promote employment, economic flourishing, and environmental protection. A policy decision can involve a significant tradeoff, i.e., it can entail foreseeably giving up part or all of one valued outcome in the pursuit of another valued outcome. Does a policy decision by Nation X to permit extensive clearcutting of forests provide a valued outcome at the expense of another valued outcome?

(1) Extensive clearcutting of forests is permitted in Nation X because it provides immediate economic gains by enabling businesses such as farming and lumbering to flourish and provide employment.

(2) Extensive clearcutting of forests is permitted in Nation X even though it reduces forests’ absorption of carbon dioxide, and this indirectly contributes to global warming, resulting in adverse climate changes that are certain to be very costly for Nation X to manage.

AStatement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
BStatement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
CBOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
DEACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
EStatements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
