Question

The resource consumption in wealthier nations, in general, is higher than in developing countries because of the difference in.

• A. population size
• B. environmental policies
• C. standards of living

Answer 1

The correct option is C standards of living

Some people blame the countries with a very high population or overpopulation for putting a strain on the limited resources, but the unequal access of natural resources and their inequitable consumption tells us that not all humans have contributed to nature’s destruction equally. For example, statistics show that the consumption of resources by the average American is about 40 times more than the average Somalian. A high standard of living means a lot more resources are employed in meeting that level of development.
