Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

To prevent construction activities near wetlands and forests.

Protests and movements are the channels through which leaders hear the voice of the people. And, it’s extremely important to hear the voice of people in any democratic nation. The right to protest in a democracy can be justified in demanding more government attention towards increasing women's safety, preventing environmental degredation and construction activity near ecologically sensitive areas like wetlands and forests.
