Passage:
We are all born milk drinkers. Babies’ guts produce the enzyme lactase, which breaks down lactose, the sugar in cow’s milk, into the
simpler sugars —- glucose and galactose. But for the majority of humans, production of the enzyme lactase plummets after weaning.
“From a human perspective — no, to go further than that, from a mammalian perspective — the norm is to be able to tolerate your
mother’s breast milk, and then as you get past infancy, to stop producing lactase and become lactose intolerant,” said Adam Fox, a
consultant paediatric allergist at Guy’s and St Thomas’s hospitals, and one of the UK’s leading food allergy experts. “Then you’ve got a
small group of humans that have a mutation which means they maintain production of lactase into adulthood. Northern Europeans, the
Masai [in east Africa], some Arab groups as well. But that’s the exception, not the rule.”
That schism between milk-drinkers and the rest — actually a series of independent genetic mutations — appears to have occurred
about 10,000 years ago, around the time humans were domesticating farm animals. It is the reason that in countries such as the UK,
Sweden and Ireland, more than 90% of adults can drink milk without suffering any ill effects, but worldwide, more than two-thirds of all
adults are considered lactose intolerant. For lactose-intolerant people, a glass of milk can induce bloating, stomach pains and
diarrhoea. (Lactose intolerance should not be — though often is — confused with cow’s milk allergy, an immune response to the
proteins in cow’s milk that affects around 1% of UK adults.)
Even in northern Europe, milk as we know it is a recent phenomenon. Fresh milk, left unrefrigerated, spoils quickly and can harbor a
variety of deadly pathogens, including E Coli and tuberculosis. For most of history milk was either consumed within moments of
milking or
processed as cheese or yoghurt. Few drank milk in its liquid form. “The Romans considered it a sign of barbarism,” said Mark
Kurlansky, author of Milk! A 10, 000—Year FoodE'acas. “The only people who drank milk were people on farms, because they were the
only ones who could get it fresh enough.” Even then, cow’s milk was considered inferior to alternatives such as goat or donkey. In the
19th century, “swill milk” — so called because cows were fed the filthy runoff from inner-city breweries, turning their milk blue — was
linked with thousands of infant deaths. Only in the early 20th century, with the introduction of mandatory pasteurization — in which milk
is heated to kill off any bacteria before bottling — did milk become safe enough for most people to drink regularly.)

Question:

The author points out that in the 19th century, swill milk was linked with thousands of infant deaths. Which ONE of the actions below

would have, if familiar, available and practicable for the people of that time, saved these children?

1. Feeding the cows uncontaminated healthy food

2. Freezing the milk to remove the pollutants

3. Treating lactose intolerance with medicines

4. Shutting down inner city breweries
