Question

protecting earth
space, which in turn, helps maintain environments each organisms prevent species
unique to an area, such as bengal tigers in india and eastern moose in north
america, from being replaced by animals common among urbanized areas around
the globe.
4 nearly every country around the world protects at least some land, but the reasons
for protection can range from ecological to commercial. for example, some countries
protect land that attracts tourists who, in turn, benefit a countrys economy. other
countries protect land because of its natural beauty and unique wildlife. a recent
study showed venezuela at the top of the conservation list, protecting nearly 54% of
its total land area. turks and caicos islands protects45%, and hong kong—a region
known for its dense population—protects a surprising 43% of its land.
5 while these numbers may seem high, land areas around the world fall off protected
status while other areas gain protected status; as a result, those numbers remain
fairly consistent over time. as of 2017, a total of only 15% of land around the world is
protected, a number small enough to merit the continuing fight to preserve more land
each year. fortunately, organizations everywhere recognize the need to protect
natural spaces. when it comes to land and ocean preservation, protecting the present
means protecting the future.

Explanation:

Paragraph 4 states that some countries protect land for ecological or commercial reasons. For example, land that attracts tourists (which benefits the economy) is protected. This implies that if land has no other use (no economic or ecological benefit from development), it might be chosen to protect.

Answer:

C. The country has no other use for the land.
