Question

worry about animals that are lower on the food chain.
viewpoint 2:
the only way we can survive as a species is by preserving a planet with a thriving, diverse ecosystem. humans survived and thrived without fossil fuels, without electricity, and without nuclear reactors for millennia. since the discovery of these and other resources, and since the invention of devices that use them, we have damaged the environment and made it difficult for other species to survive alongside us.
a. these viewpoints disagree about whether its more important to generate resources or to preserve wildlife.
b. these viewpoints disagree about whether to discontinue the endangered species list or change the criteria for it.
c. these viewpoints disagree about whether its better to save endangered species or to fund sustainable farming.
d. these viewpoints disagree about whether humans or another species are at the top of the food chain.

Explanation:

Viewpoint 1 is worried about animals lower on the food chain. Viewpoint 2 emphasizes that humans have damaged the environment (using resources like fossil fuels, electricity, nuclear reactors) and made it hard for other species to survive. So, the main disagreement is about prioritizing resource - generation (implied by using resources in Viewpoint 2) vs. wildlife preservation (Viewpoint 1's concern for lower - food - chain animals).

Answer:

A. These viewpoints disagree about whether it's more important to generate resources or to preserve wildlife.
