Measures to address environmental issues such as pesticides, pollution, waste disposal, conservation and global warming are collectively known as what?

• A. Environmentalism
• B. Deregulation
• C. Industrial policy
• D. Conservation

Answer: (A)

Environmentalism is the broad movement focused on protecting the environment and addressing a range of issues by promoting laws, regulations, technology, and public action. It covers measures aimed at pesticides, pollution, waste disposal, conservation, and global warming, making it the umbrella term for efforts to reduce environmental harm and promote sustainable practices across society. Deregulation would reduce rules and protections, industrial policy centers on economic plans for industries, and conservation, while important, is a narrower focus on safeguarding natural resources rather than addressing the broader set of environmental challenges.
