Answer 1

Answer:

c. An example of sustainable use is that water extracted from underground resources must be equal to or less than the water that recharges the underground resources Human population must decline for the foreseeable future to maintain

Explanation:

Sustainability is the capacity by which an element, system or process, remains active over time. The element resists, endures, remains. Also, there is a compatibility between the activity considered and the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystems, avoiding the degradation of the source and sink functions such as water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option c: An example of sustainable use is that water extracted from underground resources must be equal to or less than the water that recharges the underground resources

Explanation:

The term "Sustainability" implies a compromise between the use of a resource and its recharge to maintain a balance of its existence as Earth's natural resource. It means we cant deplete this resource, and shortly or long afterwards to pretend its regeneration.  The resource must always exist.  Its availability should not be compromised.
