Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The statement that public policy is much more accustomed to environmental concerns than it was 40 years ago is the most accurate of the options given. While there may be debates over the effectiveness of specific policies, this statement is the most generally true and supported by evidence of the increased focus on environmental protection in government and society over the past few decades. Option A is too categorical and ignores instances where taxes may have been successful in reducing pollution. Option B is an oversimplification of the issue and ignores the role that policy can play in addressing moral problems. Option C may or may not be accurate depending on the location and specific factors, but it is not as broadly true or definitive as option D.
