A passage is given below followed by several conclusions which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passages. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage, decide upon its truth or falsity, and choose the conclusion that best supports the passage

A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in a natural area such as a forest, grassland, or prairie. Wildfires are often caused by human activity or a natural phenomenon such as lightning, and they can happen at any time or anywhere. In 50% of wildfires recorded, it is not known how they started. The risk of wildfires increases in extremely dry conditions, such as drought, and during high winds. Wildfires can disrupt transportation, communications, power and gas services, and water supply. They also lead to a deterioration of the air quality, and loss of property, crops, resources, animals and people. Wildfires and volcanic activities affected 6.2 million people between 1998-2017 with 2400 attributable deaths worldwide from suffocation, injuries, and burns, but the size and frequency of wildfires are growing due to climate change. Hotter and drier conditions are drying out ecosystems and increasing the risk of wildfires. Wildfires also simultaneously impact weather and the climate by releasing large quantities of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and fine particulate matter into the atmosphere. Resulting air pollution can cause a range of health issues, including respiratory and cardiovascular problems. Another significant health effect of wildfires is on mental health and psychosocial well-being.

The passage, if true, is best supported by which of the following conclusions?

1
Wildfires are seldom caused by human activity or a natural phenomenon, resulting in air pollution that can cause respiratory and cardiovascular problems and also effect mental health and psychosocial well-being.
2
A wildfire is an unplanned fire that are often caused by human activity or a natural phenomenon. The size and frequency of wildfires are growing due to climate change and also impact our health conditions.
3
It is difficult to say how wildfires are started but they are often caused by human activity or a natural phenomenon, which in turn results in water pollution and land pollution.
4
A wildfire is often caused by human activity or a natural phenomenon and impacts climate by releasing harmful gases like carbon tetroxide which can cause a range of health issues.
5
Wildfires have affected more than 6 million people worldwide and also pollute the environment even further and cause dangerous diseases like malaria, dengue, and plague.
