1) Abatement technique means - method of reducing something .
And 1 ) option "c" - that is driving less - as is reduce pollution.
2) Integrated assessment model - it doesn't provide predictions for future but rather estimate what possible scenario look like in terms of climate change because of temperature .
And 2 ) option "a" - that is temperature
3) Low level of abatement ( to reduce something ) either it is pollution or any productive thing will increases economic damage from climate change .
And 3) option "b" that is low level of abatement.
