Answer
The correct answer is **e. to assess the role of human activities in producing climate change and recommend ways to respond.**The IPCC's main objective is to provide policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. They don't implement policies or levy fines. Their focus is on scientific assessment and providing information to inform policy decisions.
