Question

The activities that take place to meet human needs can often be harmful to ecosystems. By developing sustainable practices, however, we can help protect our environment. Which of the following changes would be most helpful in reaching sustainability?
A) Building more water treatment facilities

B) Releasing aquaculture-raised fish into the natural environment

C) Mining the seafloor to remove valuable energy resources

D) Using natural gas for fuel instead of burning petroleum

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is DEFINITELY NOT building more water treatment facilities or using natural gas for fuel instead of burning petroleum. I would know because i took the test and these are not correct.

Explanation:

Answer 2

A good way to know would be by going through each one.

A)  This seems the most neutral course of action.

B) There have been many studies proving the negative effects of releasing aquaculture-raised fish back into environments. There are competition issues, overpopulation issues, etc.

C) This would cause the misplacement of potentially HUNDREDS of deep-sea life forms and would only cause more pollution issues in the water to find more non-renewable resources.

D) Natural gas is a convenient and expeditious source of energy. However, it is non-renewable.

I'd say most likely A, as it supports sustainability and not a non-renewable resource or (too severe) habitat destruction
