C Correct answer
Explanation

The pollution passage suggests practical actions for environmental protection. Minimise the use of polythene bags is standard environmental language meaning to reduce or limit usage. Punish is too harsh and doesn't fit individual action. Disallow suggests prohibition which is unrealistic for personal choices. Neglect means to ignore, which is opposite of the intended environmental protection message.
