b. expanding into global markets
c. prioritizing corporate interests alone
d. following only political borders

Explanation:

First Question (What is landscape ecology concerned with?)

Landscape ecology studies the interaction between landscape structure (like patches, corridors, matrices) and ecosystems. Option a focuses on this relationship. Option b is about agriculture, c about urban development, d about historical land use—none match landscape ecology's core focus.

A bioregional approach emphasizes managing resources according to ecological boundaries (e.g., watersheds, biotic communities). Option b is about global markets (business - related), c about corporate interests (business/ethics), d about political borders (not ecological). So a is correct.

Answer:

a. The relationship between landscape structure and ecosystems
