in principle, the privatization approach could play a significant role in improving
resource management of the global commons but would be difficult for dealing with
________ problems.

a) boundary river system

b) ground water

c) both a and b

d) ocean

Explanation:

Privatization involves assigning property rights. Boundary river systems and groundwater are complex shared resources. Boundary river systems cross political boundaries, and groundwater is a subsurface resource with unclear demarcations. Privatization struggles with such shared and hard - to - demarcate resources. The ocean is also a global commons but is even more vast and complex. However, boundary river systems and groundwater are more directly related to the issue of demarcation which is a key problem for privatization.

Answer:

C. both a and b
