I choose C

Here is how I approached the problem.

D and E out That have comparable size and having been with implecated here sounds incorrect.

B - I believe far less and far fewer makes it wordy and having been with implecated here sounds incorrect.

A for far less and far fewer makes it wordy.

Whats the OA.

Also THEY in B is ambiguous ... it can refer to diesel or petrol engine..

ONLY B sounds fine ...
for parallelism between BURN, EMIT...

B For me too..
