Scope 3 emissions (Option C) include indirect emissions from supply chains, investments, and consumer use, making finance and technology sectors particularly exposed because:
Finance: Banks and asset managers finance high-emission industries, leading to significant Scope 3 exposure.
Technology: Cloud computing, data centers, and supply chains generate significant Scope 3 emissions (e.g., electronics manufacturing).
Option A (Scope 1 emissions) refers to direct emissions, which are low for finance and tech.
Option B (Scope 2 emissions) involves purchased electricity, which is relevant but not a major exclusion factor.
