B If governments invest more in renewable energy, pollution levels would drop significantly within a decade.

C If governments invested more in renewable energy, pollution levels will drop significantly within a decade.

D If governments would invest more in renewable energy, pollution levels would drop significantly within a decade.

Explanation

This describes a hypothetical, large-scale scenario rather than a real plan, so it correctly follows the second conditional pattern: past simple in the if-clause, "would" in the main clause.

Hint

Hypothetical scenarios about what governments or society "would" do (not actual plans) usually call for second conditional, not first.
