3-2 split. abc & de

meaning = burning of fossil fuel --> global warming. any answer which deviates from this meaning can be eliminated.

d & e can be elimated bcz of *red* fonted ones. IMO gmat, in general, doesnot like *to be* something -- it says this is wordy -- also meaning distortion.

a can be struck off bcz of *to be* & meaning distortion.
b eliminated cz the *red* font'd words are unidiomatic and meaning distortion.

c - prevails.
