Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generation of pollution is a form of environmental degradation, as it can damage the air, water, and soil, negatively impacting habitats for plants and animals, and even causing harm to humans. Choice A (underuse of natural resources) is not a form of environmental degradation, but rather a missed opportunity for sustainable development. Choice B (exploitation of human resources) and C (forcing laborers to work in sweatshop conditions) are forms of social injustice and human rights violations, which can also have environmental impacts, but do not directly fall under the category of environmental degradation. Choice E (safe recycling of toxic electronic waste) is a positive action and does not represent a form of environmental degradation.
