B) Businesses might invest in places that lack environmental regulations.

Explanation:

  • Certain gases in the atmosphere has the ability to trap the radiating heat from the earth and keep the atmosphere warm even during the night.
  • These gases are called greenhouse gases.
  • Carbon dioxide, methane etc are some example of green house gases.
  • These gases are added to the atmosphere in large amounts due to burning of fossil fuel.
  • Though green house gases are very important in maintaining the temperature of the Earth but if their percentage increases in the atmosphere then they may contribute to global warming.
  • Global warming is a environmental havoc and is leading to global climate change and melting of ice caps.
  • To manage this problem it is very necessary to reduce the increasing green house gases.
  • To achieve this goal governments of various nation has formulated rules according to which, the industries that do not have efficient machinery to reduce consumption of fossil fuel and reduce green house gas emission are charged fines.
  • But since these rules are not implemented in all places , the industries choose to establish business in those places where they are not forced to comply with strict environmental rules. So, there is a negative impact on the economy of the nation that have strict regulations to conserve environment.
