Explanation:

To determine gender - neutral language, we analyze each option:

• "firemen" is a gender - specific term (masculine - oriented) as it refers to male firefighters.
• "stewardess" is a gender - specific term (feminine - oriented) for a female flight attendant.
• "chairman" is a gender - specific term (masculine - oriented) for the head of a board.
• "humankind" is a gender - neutral term that refers to all of humanity, regardless of gender. So the sentence "Recycling helps preserve the Earth for all humankind" uses gender - neutral language.

Answer:

Recycling helps preserve the Earth for all humankind.
