C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct answer as both arguments are strong. The banning of cars on Tuesdays will encourage people to carpool and use public transport since they will have to make alternate arrangements to reach their destinations on those days. The banning of cars for one day a week will put an added burden on the public transport system as all the people who use cars on that day will have to depend upon the public transport system, which might not be able to adjust all the added rush.
