In which situation is the issue of environmental justice most evident?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Polluting industries are concentrated near low-income settlements

Environmental justice examines whether environmental benefits and burdens are distributed fairly among social groups and places. It asks who receives clean air, safe water and green space, and who bears pollution, hazardous waste or climate risk. Option A is the strongest example because locating polluting industries near low-income settlements places disproportionate health and environmental burdens on a socially vulnerable population. Option B suggests fair access to a basic environmental benefit. Option C is a natural condition and does not by itself show injustice. Option D is also a physical climatic fact without evidence of unequal treatment. The concept therefore combines environmental conditions with social inequality, power and the fairness of decision-making.
