The difference between the conventional and sustainable perspectives is that the conventional perspective prioritizes factors that contribute to immediate productivity, while the sustainable perspective considers factors that are community-focused and long-term oriented. Therefore, option A correctly explains the difference between the two perspectives. Option B is incorrect because it repeats the same statement as option A but attributes it to the sustainable perspective instead of the conventional perspective. Option C is incorrect because it contradicts the conventional perspective by suggesting that it does consider community-focused and long-term factors. Option D is also incorrect because it contradicts the sustainable perspective by suggesting that it does not consider community-focused and long-term factors.
