It provides a guide to beginning recycling programs.
It provides support for the claim of the public’s support about recycling.

It provides support for the claim of the public's support about recycling

The foot note is about a survey on what the Texans believe about recycling, which is the public's support for the passage's claim.

It provides support for the claim of the public's support about recycling.

Explanation:

The footnote mentions that it's a survey, which wouldn't provide facts about recycling or provide a guide to beginning recycling programs, so we can eliminate both Options 1 & 2.

The footnote also mentions that the survey is on Texans' beliefs on recycling, which has nothing to do with what others in different states feel about recycling, which means we can also eliminate Option 4.

That leaves us with Option 3, which is the correct answer due to the fact a survey would show data to support the claim that "most people in the state of Texas say they support recycling plans in their towns."
