Answer:

D. Both a and c are correct.

Explanation:

The tragedy of the commons is a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users, acting independently according to their own self-interest, behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling the shared resource through their collective action.

It damages our environment (plants, animals) and impacts local tourism. It is smelly and dirty, and carries germs, bacteria and viruses. Places with a high degree of littering see a decreases in property values, and are more likely to be the site of fires.

Pollution is a negative externality. Economists illustrate the social costs of production with a demand and supply diagram. The social costs include the private costs of production incurred by the company and the external costs of pollution that are passed on to society.

Blowing litter can cause automobile accidents as well as land and air pollutions

An organism's niche includes all of these except: a. the space an organism requires. b. the timing of an organism's reproduction
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

c. the specific geographical location where an organism lives.

Explanation:

The ecological niche of an organism includes the habitat where it lives and its place in the community with respect to the other species. It includes various adaptations present in the organism to survive in prevailing conditions, its interaction with other biotic factors of the system, and the pattern of consumption of available resources. Therefore, the ecological niche of an organism defines the space occupied and its functional role in the community irrespective of the type of biome. It does not take account of its geographical location on the earth.
