Solution

The correct option is B 2.6 hectares
In 2010, WWF calculated that the global ecological footprint stood at 18.1 billion global hectares, which would amount to 2.6 global hectares per individual. It takes 2.6 hectares of productive land to support the lifestyle and assimilate the waste generated by one person.
