Which of the following points will strengthen the decision taken by the Railways?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Points I, II, III, and IV all directly contribute to environmental sustainability by promoting renewable energy, water conservation, waste recycling, and energy efficiency.

2. Point V, which involves the introduction of water audit, is more of an assessment tool that examines system records and equipment to measure water flow and usage rather than an active green initiative.

3. Since the question asks which points strengthen the decision to prevent pollution and promote green initiatives, all points except V are directly supportive.

**Answer:** All except V
