Which statement about externalities is wrong?

Mr permise states I do not understand why anyone would suggest the use of taxes or regulations in pollution problems. Taxes are unfair and regulations are costly and inefficient. The best approach is to trust the market. Firms will control their emissons because it is cost effective for them to do so. The only policy they may need to applied is the use of market permits. Thismarket would function completely and permit prices would clearly represent all revlevant costs Discuss this statement
According to economists what is the optimal amount of pollution? O a. The optimal amount of pollution is where private costs equal social costs O b. Pollution should be reduced to a level as determined by government regulation O c. None, the goal is to completely eliminate pollution d. The point where the marginal benefit from further pollution reduction equals the marginal cost of further reduction

Nimrah has a pet parrot that gives her a benefit (expressed in dollars) of $200. The parrot's squawking imposed a negative externality on Haya of $100. Nimrah has the right to have pets, however noisy, in the house. Assume they can bargain costlessly and enforce any agreement they come up with. Which solution below increases total surplus? O Haya pays Nimrah $100 and Nimrah finds another home for the parrot. O Nimrah keeps the parrot and pays Haya $200. O Haya pays Nimrah $200 and Nimrah finds another home for the parrot. O Nimrah keeps the parrot and pays Haya $100. O It is not possible to increase total surplus with payments.
