Solution
Negative externalities reduce welfare, so there is an inverse relationship (B correct). Economic activities can generate both positive and negative externalities (D correct). A is incorrect (GDP ignores externalities, not external production); E is incorrect (producers are not rewarded for positive externalities). Hence B and D only.
