Each actor has two possible actions: reduce greenhouse-gas emissions or increase emissions. Each player's payoffs for various combinations of actions are shown in the cells: by convention, the row player (EU)'s payoffs are shown first, and the column player (China)'s payoffs are shown second. Based on this matrix, which of the following statements are true?   A.The EU is better off reducing its emissions, but only if China also reduces its emissions B. China is better off increasing its emissions, but only if the EU also increases its emissions C.Both China and the EU are better off increasing their emissions, whatever the other player does D.All of the above E.None of the above
