Researching the relationship between the climate, vegetation, and leaf-cutting ants in the rain forests of costa rica is an example of (a) ecology (b) environmental science (c) the biosphere (d) all of these

(A) ecology

Explanation:

Ecology is the name of one of the branches of biology whose main objective is to study the interactions, influences and relationships between living beings and the environment around them, where they live.

In this case, if a cinetista wishes to do a scientific study on the relationship between climate, vegetation and leaf-cutting ants in the tropical forests of Costa Rica, that study will be categorized as an ecological study, that is, this is an example of an ecological study, already that the scientist is evaluating the leaf-cutting ant in relation to the environment in which it lives.

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
