Correct Answer: Increased pollution and resource depletion


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Increased pollution and resource depletion

One negative impact of globalization on the environment is the increased pollution and resource depletion. Globalization has led to the growth of international trade, increased industrialization, and the expansion of global supply chains, which can have detrimental effects on the environment.

Additionally, globalization has resulted in increased consumption and demand for natural resources. Industries and consumers have access to a wider range of products from different parts of the world, leading to an increase in resource extraction and depletion. The extraction of resources such as fossil fuels, minerals, and timber can have negative consequences for ecosystems, biodiversity, and local communities.
