With reference to 'Carrying Capacity of Environment', which of the following statements is/are correct?1.The rate of resource extraction should remain above the rate of resource generation.2.Generation of waste should remain within the absorption capacity of environment.Select the correct answer from the code given below:

1. A

   Only 2

   Only 2. Waste must stay within the environment’s absorptive capacity. Statement 1 is reversed: extraction should stay below regeneration, not above.

2. B

   Neither 1 nor 2

   Neither. Statement 2 is the carrying-capacity waste limb.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   Both. Statement 1 would mean over-harvest, which breaks carrying capacity.

4. D

   Only 1

   Only 1. That rate-of-extraction line is the false one.

Summary. Official key is (a) only 2. Carrying capacity: waste within absorption. Resource take must not exceed regeneration.
