Question

Scientists studied the effects of cars traveling off the paved roads in a park. They shared their findings with the park rangers, who posted signs that said cars were only to be driven on paved roads.
Which reason best explains why the park rangers did not want cars to be driven on areas other than paved roads?

Car tires leave behind rubber, causing plants and animals to get sick.

Car tires break up the ground, causing increased erosion.

Driving on areas other than paved roads reduces the available sunlight for plants.

Driving on areas other than paved roads increases the amount of fuel being used.

Answer 1

The answer would be car tired break up the ground, causing increased erosion. Rubber in a tire form can not get plants sick(unless it is carrying a disease), plants are used to dappled sunlight so that wouldn’t be a problem, increased fuel usage may be true however it is no concern to the park rangers
