Given statement: Rising awareness in people about healthy foods led to certain restaurant chains offering special diet and nutrition sections on their menu.

Given conclusions:

I. Remote work policies can positively impact the environment but may have economic consequences. → Follow

The statement provides evidence that remote work reduces traffic and pollution but also affects small business revenues, meaning both positive and negative consequences exist.

II. Reducing office commutes is the only effective way to lower urban pollution→ Does not Follow

While remote work helps lower pollution, it is not the only method—factors like cleaner energy, better public transport, and industrial regulations also play a role

Thus, Only Conclusion I follows.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
