The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a measure used to describe the level of air pollution. Different levels of AQI correspond to different levels of health concerns. The typical categories for AQI values in most standards are:
  • 0-50: Good
  • 51-100: Moderate
  • 101-150: Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
  • 151-200: Unhealthy
  • 201-300: Very Unhealthy (Very Poor)
  • 301-500: Hazardous (Severe)
A value of 470 falls into the "301-500" category, which is classified as "Severe". This indicates that the air quality is very poor and poses a health alert. Everyone may experience more serious health effects.
