(I) are being lowered with the decreased
(II) have come down with the increased
(III) have been lowered because of decreasing

Options

A. Only (I) is correct
B. Only (II) is correct
C. Only (III) is correct
D. Both (I) and (II) are correct

Answer

A

Explanation

"have come down with the increased" is the correct phrase to make the sentence grammatically correct as the sentence is in Present Tense. It is to be noticed that the speed of trucks can't be decreased as it is clearly mentioned that the highways have become clutter-free. Thus the options (I) and (III) can be easily eliminated. Also, the phrasal verb "come down" means collapse or be demolished. Hence, (b) is the correct option.
