Question

We need to manage our natural resources as effectively as possible for a long time:

• A. due to tremendous rise in population.
• B. because they are not unlimited.
• C. to control and reduce pollution.
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

We need to use our resources carefully because these are not available forever, and with the human population increasing at a tremendous rate due to improvement in health care and other facilities, the demand for resources is increasing at an exponential rate. Also, as the consumption of fossil fuels like petroleum and coal hikes, the level of the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere increases. This needs to be controlled as it causes a potential threat to living species.
