Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. adequate.

  • The sentence is talking about creating awareness among people of all ages to control air pollution.
  • In this context, the word "adequate" implies that a sufficient level of awareness needs to be created.
  • The other options, like "quite," "much," or "few," do not convey the same sense of sufficiency or appropriateness needed in this context.

Hence, the correct option would be adequate.
