A, B, C correct

Roots of trees bind the

soil and prevent riverbank erosion, and filter sediment

     Water regulation & improve water quality

Provide crucial habitat and shade for wildlife and hold

high biodiversity

       A & B only correct

.      

It decreases biodiversity, increases the urban heat island

effect, manages stormwater, and decreases the quality of life in densely built

environments

Vertical greening is limited to indoor potted plants in

office buildings and has no measurable environmental benefit at the city scale.

It enhances biodiversity, reduces the urban heat island

effect, manages stormwater, and improves the quality of life in densely built

environments.

.      

Relying solely on desalination plants powered by

fossil fuels to meet all freshwater demand

Constructing a single large dam to capture all

seasonal rainfall

Importing bottled water from neighboring countries

during drought periods

Combining wastewater reuse, rainwater

harvesting, and aquifer recharge as part of an IWRM framework 

Restricting agricultural activities entirely to

reduce water consumption

Recycling plastics into new

materials.

Implementing crop rotation

to maintain soil fertility

Utilizing solar panels to

power a small community

Harvesting timber at a

slower rate than the forest regenerates

Depleting a non-renewable

aquifer for agricultural irrigation without recharge

Protected lands are clearly

defined geographical spaces, such as national parks, nature reserves, or

sanctuaries, managed through legal means to ensure long-term biodiversity

conservation and ecosystem services

A habitat is defined as the

physical environment where an organism resides, which includes a variety of

factors such as climate, vegetation, soil types, availability of water, and

geographical features

Habitat degradation

refers to the decline in habitat quality, occurring through natural processes

(like drought or extreme temperatures) and human activities (such as forestry,

agriculture, and urbanization).

Habitat fragmentation is

the process by which a continuous habitat is divided into a series of

disconnected fragments or sites

Habitat Lost means the

phenomenon occurs when natural ecosystems thrive and flourish, resulting in

sustaining native species

      Both A & B are correct.

.      

The mangroves completely replace the seawall, eliminating

the need for hard structures.

The seawall prevents mangrove root systems from spreading

into adjacent property.

The mangrove belt reduces wave energy before it impacts the

seawall, thereby lowering maintenance costs and increasing overall resilience

of the coastal defense system.

Focusing on greenhouse gas emission levels prior to the

Industrial Revolution

Development that does not

focus on the needs of the present but focuses only on the future generations to

meet their own needs

Focusing solely on the

conservation of natural habitats without human interaction

Rapid industrial growth to eliminate global poverty and

focus on development that meets the needs of the present generation

Development that meets the

needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to

meet their own needs

      Eutrophication

.      

       Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR)

      Urban Forestry

  Ecosystem-based adaptation (EBA)

Both B & C are

correct.

Replanting

mangroves/seagrasses and monitoring carbon storage and ecosystem health using

technology

Conserve and construct

wetlands and tidal flatlands that store carbon in coastal urban areas.

Deep-sea drilling,

offshore mining, ocean acidification control, and tidal barrage construction

Desalination, wastewater discharge, marine debris

collection, and submarine cable installation.

     Vertical gardens, parks, and open spaces

      Green Roofs and Street Trees

       Rain gardens and green roofs

       Bioswales and green walls
