Explanation:

Usage of the phrasal verb 'draw over' which means ‘to cover someone or something with something by pulling it on top' in fragment B is inappropriate.

'Draw down' which means ‘withdraw water, oil, or gas from a reservoir or repository’ would be suitable in the context.

Eg: The state began drawing down some of its stored water.

The correct sentence would therefore be:

As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) points out, drawing down large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is essential if we are to stand any chance of preventing more than 1.5C or even 2C of global heating.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
