The correct answer is D

Explanation:

During the 20th century, there was an increasing interest in the environment. The impact of human activity on the environment has been observed locally since centuries. Pollution of canals and chimneys in crowded urban areas etc were all causes of concern.

However, with a better understanding of our earth and increase in Medical knowledge of the 20th century, we could observe how our activities were having a global impact on the ozone layer and the melting ice caps.

Malaria is a much higher disease risk for travelers in hot climates, for example, in the United States, about 1500 cases of malaria are diagnosed each year. The vast majority of cases correspond to travelers and immigrants returning from places in the world where there is malaria transmission, such as Africa and South Asia. Because this disease causes so many cases of illness and death, malaria causes great losses to the difficulties of many countries. Because many countries with malaria are among the poorest nations, the disease maintains a vicious cycle of poverty and disease.
