Question:

Which is the major environmental issue?

Options:

Poor Health of Masses

Global Warming

High population

Illiteracy

Correct Answer:

Global Warming

Explanation:

The major environmental issue among the options provided is: Global Warming

Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases. It has significant implications for climate change, weather patterns, sea level rise, and the overall health of the planet.

  1. Poor Health of Masses:

    • While the health of the population is a critical concern, it is generally considered a public health issue rather than a direct environmental issue.
  2. High Population:

    • High population is a demographic and socio-economic issue rather than a direct environmental problem.
  3. Illiteracy:

    • Illiteracy is a social and educational challenge, and while it can indirectly contribute to environmental issues (for example, lack of awareness about sustainable practices), it is not an environmental problem in itself.
