Explanation:

Sustainable use of natural resources focuses on managing resources so they remain available for future generations. The first option ("to ensure that natural resources are available for future generations") aligns with this concept. The second option is about daily life convenience, not sustainability. The third is about scientific discovery, not resource sustainability. The fourth is about preventing resource exchange, which is not related to sustainability’s core of long - term availability.
