    Option A, The footprint decreases, because the family uses fewer energy resources and reduces their emissions of greenhouse gases

    Explanation:

    The carbon footprint depends on the count of total CO2 or any other green house gas released by an individual.

    Since, Shari and her family decided to use sustainable mode of transportation (green transport) like walking and bicycling, then almost the entire pollution while travelling through these two modes of transport will become zero. However, switching from private transportation to public transportation will reduce pollution release by a large extent, thereby reducing the carbon footprint.

    Hence, option A is correct.
