Question

Which action is an example of balancing a need for natural resources with a need to protect the environment? A) building oil pipelines above ground B) preventing overcrowding in cities C) providing housing for immigrants

Answer 1

Answer:

B) preventing overcrowding in cities

Explanation:

Preventing overcrowding in cities is an example to balance natural resources need and also protect the environment because overcrowding in cities means requirement of more natural resources and also harmful for environment.

Overcrowding will demand more natural resources such as land for homes, food and other which will cause deforestation, pollution, and other environmental hazards, so preventing overcrowding will also prevent the consequences of overcrowding and balance natural resources and protect the environment.

Hence, the correct option is "B".
