Question

how did the nuclear arms race impact the environment?
○ a. nuclear fallout caused crops to grow at a faster rate.
○ b. the explosions caused oil to come closer to the surface that could then be used.
○ c. islands where testing was done were destroyed and radioactivity caused massive health problems.
○ d. test sites allowed for rapid population growth and development

Explanation:

• Nuclear fallout is harmful and would not make crops grow faster (eliminating option a).
• Nuclear explosions are not related to bringing oil closer to the surface (eliminating option b).
• Nuclear testing on islands led to destruction and radioactive - related health issues (supports option c).
• Test sites are dangerous due to radiation and would not allow for rapid population growth and development (eliminating option d).

Answer:

C. Islands where testing was done were destroyed and radioactivity caused massive health problems.
