Answer 1

Answer: Option C

Explanation: The best descriptor for the term maximum sustainable yield would be "maximum catch without reducing the population of target species".  The maximum level at which the natural resources can be exploited without having any serious threats to the future is called sustainable yield. So as per this case sustainable yield is the extent of hunting a species that fulfills the requirement of today and does not threat the future needs.
