Question

28 which of the following events has increased the impact of humans on the environment? i. advances in technology ii. reduced human population growth iii. use of tools for hunting a i b i, ii, and iii c ii d i and iii

Explanation:

• For I: Advances in technology (like industrial tech, transportation tech) lead to more resource consumption, pollution, and habitat alteration, increasing human environmental impact.
• For II: Reduced human population growth would likely decrease resource demand and environmental impact, so it does not increase human impact.
• For III: Use of hunting tools (especially advanced ones over time) allowed humans to hunt more efficiently, affecting wildlife populations and ecosystems, increasing impact.

So I and III increase human environmental impact.

Answer:

D. I and III
