Question

a. a green economy factors ecological concerns into business decisions.
b. a green economy is the same thing as globalization.
c. a green economy cannot exist in a market - based economy.
d. a green economy can only take place as a business - to - business (b2b) entity in an e - commerce model.
e. a green economy focuses on free markets, private ownership, and limits on government intervention.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A green economy integrates ecological concerns (like sustainability, environmental impact) into business decisions, which aligns with its definition.
• Option B: A green economy and globalization are distinct concepts (globalization focuses on global integration of economies, while green economy focuses on environmental sustainability in economic activities), so this is false.
• Option C: A green economy can exist in market - based economies (and also involve government intervention for environmental goals), so this is false.
• Option D: A green economy is not limited to B2B e - commerce models; it can involve various business models and sectors, so this is false.
• Option E: A green economy often involves government intervention (e.g., regulations for environmental protection, subsidies for green technologies), so the claim about limiting government intervention is false.

Answer:

A. A green economy factors ecological concerns into business decisions.
