Explanation:

The claim is about protecting national parks by limiting visitors. The first option is a single - visitor's opinion. The second option is about underfunded projects. The third option directly links increased visitors to environmental problems (smog and trail erosion) in a national park, which strongly supports the need to limit visitors for protection.

Staff at Yosemite National Park report that an increase in visitors has led to problems such as smog and trail erosion.
