d. Congressman Smith’s bill because it will reduce the overuse of the parks

Answer 1

Answer:

Congressman Smith's bill because it will reduce the overuse of the parks

Explanation:

When people use the park, their activities are more likely to create some sort of degradation to the parks quality. For example, children can spoil their drinks and foods there, pulling out the grass, destroying the land while playing sports, etc.

As the price of a certain product increase, the demand for that product would decrease. Increasing the entrance fees will lead  lesser amount of people who enter the park. This will minimize the degradation process
