Answer: D. reduced to the point where the marginal benefit of pollution reduction is equal to the marginal cost of pollution reduction to society.

Explanation:

For economists, pollution is a cost of externality and occurs only when one or more individuals suffer a loss of well-being.

Even so, economists do not typically recommend eliminating externality because they argue that the optimal externality is not zero.

It is wrong to think that polluters are only companies: governments and individuals also pollute.
