Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1TY
Among the answers given, a correct answer is an option (c), ecological footprint.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (c) is ecological footprint. Ecological footprint is the measure of human demand on nature. Hence, this option is correct.
Explanation/justification for the incorrect answer:
Option (a) is sustainability level. It means meeting the needs of humans without putting the needs of future generations at risk. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (b) is ecological impact. It is the effect on the living beings by their environmental factors. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (d) is survival needs. These are the basic needs of human beings to survive on this planet, such as, air, water, and food. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (e) is all the above. Among the given options only option (c) is correct. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Conclusion
Among the answers given, a correct answer is an option (c), ecological footprint.
