Solution

The correct option is B Sustainable development
The Brundtland Commission appointed by the United Nations defined sustainable development as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs. The objectives of development can thus be redefined as reducing poverty, unemployment, and inequality; conserving resources and the environment; and enhancing the overall welfare.
