Explanation:

- The passage discusses the impact of meteorological conditions and the practice of crop burning on air quality in Delhi.

- Option 1: "among" - This word might suggest a list or group, which doesn't fit logically with the surrounding context.

- Option 2: "and" - This conjunction logically connects two elements that together affect air quality: meteorology and the quantity of chaff burnt.

- Option 3: "yet" - This indicates contrast, which isn't appropriate as there is no contradiction between meteorology and chaff burning affecting air quality.

- Option 4: "but" - Similar to "yet," this suggests a contrast that isn't present in the sentence.
