Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Developing a government policy for managing aquatic ecosystems falls under the category of environmentalism, as it involves human intervention and decision-making in the preservation and management of the environment. Ecology, on the other hand, is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment, without necessarily involving human intervention or policy-making. The other options (A, B, C, and D) involve observations and scientific study of ecological phenomena without direct policy or intervention.
