Question

which government regulation would contribute to the renewal of a natural resource? increasing worker safety standards banning lumber mills in forest areas requiring permits for oil drilling on land regulating emissions from automobiles

Explanation:

• Increasing worker safety standards: Focuses on worker well - being, not natural resource renewal.
• Banning lumber mills in forest areas: Forests are a natural resource. Banning lumber mills allows trees (a renewable natural resource if managed properly) to grow and regenerate, contributing to the renewal of the forest resource.
• Requiring permits for oil drilling on land: Oil is a non - renewable resource. This regulation is more about management and access rather than renewal.
• Regulating emissions from automobiles: Deals with pollution control, not directly with the renewal of a natural resource.

Answer:

banning lumber mills in forest areas
