Option D is too narrow. Directors and officers can be held responsible even if they weren't directly involved in the pollution, as long as they failed to prevent it.

Option B seems like the correct answer. Directors and officers can't just turn a blind eye to environmental issues - they need to show they've done their due diligence to prevent pollution.
