Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true

The correct answer is Option 3: Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true

Statement 1: Overuse of environmental resources occur when regeneration of resources is less than their extraction. This statement is true. Overuse refers to a situation where the rate at which resources are extracted exceeds the rate at which they can naturally regenerate, leading to depletion and potential long-term damage to the environment.

Statement 2: Misuse of environmental resources occurs when atmosphere is harmed by us by not controlling the amount of harmful chemicals, greenhouse gases etc. This statement is true. Misuse of environmental resources often involves activities that harm the environment, such as not regulating emissions of harmful substances, which can lead to pollution and climate change.
