Solution

The correct option is B 12 billion hectares
In 2010, WWF calculated that the global ecological footprint stood at 18.1 billion global hectares, amounting to 2.6 global hectares per individual. Whereas, the Earth’s total biocapacity in 2010 was just 12 billion global hectares, which would come down to 1.7 global hectares per individual.
