Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Exposure to MTC is responsible for no less than half of the nation's asthma cases.
Concept: Mathematical Assumptions in Arguments.

Formula: N/A

Solution: To achieve a 50% reduction in total asthma rates solely by eliminating MTC, MTC must account for at least 50% of all asthma cases.

Why other options are incorrect:

• Option B: Economic necessity is irrelevant to the medical reduction target.
