Question

Read the following statements about sustainable development.
Statement (A) : Sustainable development is a process of maximum exploitation of resources.
Statement (B) : In absence of sustainable development non-renewable resources can definitely get exhausted.
Choose the correct option.

A.

Both (A) and (B) are true, and (B) is the correct explanation of (A)

B.

Both (A) and (B) are true, but (B) is not the correct explanation of (A)

C.

(A) is true, but (B) is false

D.

(A) is false, but (B) is true

Correct option is D

The correct option is (d), (A) is false, but (B) is true.
Statement (A) is false because sustainable development is about meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This means that sustainable development does not involve the maximum exploitation of resources. On the contrary, it requires us to use resources in a way that is efficient and sustainable.
Statement (B) is true because non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels, are finite and will eventually run out if they are not used sustainably. For example, if we continue to use fossil fuels at the current rate, they will run out in a few hundred years. This will have a devastating impact on the global economy and environment.
