Which of these is the BEST way to manage a natural resource?
A.
driving in a car as much as possible
B.
always leaving the water running while brushing your teeth
C.
planting trees as they are being cut down
D.
dumping chemical wastes into nearby lakes and rivers

The answer is C.

This can be concluded by looking at the other answers and eliminating them one-by-one.

Managing (Or conserving) a natural resource means to sustain it and use it as efficiently as possible.

With this in mind, we can look and eliminate certain answers.

A is incorrect because driving a car uses gas, a natural resource. By using as much gas as possible, the resource would be wasted instead of conserved.

B is incorrect because water is a natural resource. Once again, by using this, it's wasted where it could be conserved.

C is correct because planting trees would conserve the resource; by consistently planting trees where they're cut, the chances of running out of wood decrease.

D is incorrect because both the water and the creatures that live inside it are natural resources. By dumping toxic waste, these resources are wasted where it could be conserved.

Hope this helped you! :)
