Question

[109]. Passage: Thousands of defunct satellites and fragments orbit Earth at speeds that turn even a paint fleck into a hazard. Collisions generate more debris, raising the risk of a cascade in crowded orbits used for weather, navigation and communication. No single nation can clean an orbit it does not own, and removal missions face legal questions about ownership and liability. Prevention is therefore cheaper than cure: satellites designed for disposal, shared tracking data, and agreed rules for deorbiting at end of life. The sky above us, like a common road, needs traffic rules before a crash forces them. Which inference can be drawn from the passage?

1.
The passage implies that the issue affects only one small group and no one else.
2.
The passage implies that doing nothing is the safest course of action.
3.
The passage implies that a single isolated measure will solve the whole problem.
4.
The passage implies that waiting for a major collision would make regulation far more costly.
