Correct Answer: Balancing economic growth and environmental protection

 


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Balancing economic growth and environmental protection.

The concept of sustainable development emphasizes the need to achieve a balance between economic growth, social development, and environmental protection. It recognizes that these three dimensions are interconnected and mutually dependent.

Sustainable development seeks to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves responsible and efficient use of resources, minimizing negative environmental impacts, and ensuring social equity and inclusivity.

Sustainable development involves practices such as promoting renewable energy sources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources, fostering social inclusion, and encouraging sustainable consumption and production patterns. It aims to create a harmonious and balanced relationship between economic development, environmental sustainability, and social progress for the benefit of present and future generations.
