Read the following scenario and answer the question below.
In Johannesburg, South Africa, the South West Township (Soweto) was one of several areas established early in the last century for blacks to live away from the white ruling minority. On the hills surrounding Soweto, the company that provides South Africaʹs electricity, Eskom, built a large, coal-burning, electricity-generating plant. The electricity was for white areas of Johannesburg, miles away from the plant. The residents of Soweto had no electrical connections.
-One of the promises made by the government in 1994 was ʺfree electricity.ʺ Since 2001 the government has provided a small amount, 50 Kilowatt hours per month, free to each household. Beyond that, a household must pay for the electricity that it uses.

A) poor households would end up paying much more for their electricity than they do now
B) with less incentive to keep electric usage low, environmental issues related to the generation of electricity would worsen
C) wealthy households would end up paying much more and have less electricity than they do now
