Increase tidal wave, which reduces storm surge inundation

depth

Coral reefs decrease marine biodiversity and are not a

habitat for marine species

Act as natural breakwaters by absorbing wave energy before

it reaches the shoreline

       Eliminate the need for integrated coastal zone management

Generate sand that fills engineered groynes before it

reaches the shoreline

Natural seaweeds deplete

dissolved oxygen in the ocean and therefore damage the blue economy by killing

fish stocks.

.      

Seaweed is only useful

as decorative aquarium plants and has no economic or ecological significance.

Seaweeds support

sustainable livelihoods, enhance marine biodiversity, sequester carbon, protect

coastlines, and provide food, fertilizer, and bioenergy products.

Seaweed farming is

purely a land-based agricultural activity with no connection to marine

ecosystems or carbon cycling.

Seaweed farming only

benefits deep-ocean ecosystems and has no relevance to coastal communities or

urban blue-green infrastructure.

Economic Development.

Social inclusion

       Environmental Protection.

Both A, B &C

Corporate Profit

Maximization

       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.
