Question:

Which of the following results in "Environmental crisis"?

Options:

Resource extraction rate is above regeneration

Waste generation is below the assimilation capacity

Both 1 and 2

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Resource extraction rate is above regeneration

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1: Resource extraction rate is above regeneration

Explanation: An environmental crisis occurs when the rate of resource extraction exceeds the natural regeneration capacity of the environment. This leads to resource depletion and environmental degradation. On the other hand, waste generation below the environment's assimilation capacity would not result in a crisis, as the environment can handle the waste without harmful effects.
