Answer is B
Because draconian restrictions are overly harsh, it is essential to prove a causal link between the substances and the environmental damage before the controls are implemented.
Choice A won’t prevent the draconian restrictions.
Choices C and D are more likely to support the enforcement of strict measures.
Choice E doesn’t affect the restrictions.
