Explanation:

Let's evaluate the categories of emissions for correctness:

- Scope 1: These are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, such as company vehicles and on-site fuel combustion. The example provided involving employee commuting and business travel should be under Scope 3. Thus, the pair is incorrect.

- Scope 2: This involves indirect emissions from the purchase of electricity, steam, heating, and cooling for own use, accurately matched with the provided example.

- Scope 3: These concern all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain, including commuting, business travel, and waste, not specifically company vehicles. Therefore, the pairing is incorrect as described.

- Only Scope 2 is correctly matched.

- Correct Answer: 2 Only
