If pollution control cleans a city but industries shift to a poor rural region, what has occurred?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Spatial displacement of pollution

Spatial displacement occurs when an environmental burden is moved from one location to another instead of being reduced at its source. In this case, the city appears cleaner, but polluting industries have shifted their emissions and risks to a poorer rural region. Option A is correct because the pollution has changed location, not disappeared. Option B is false: overall pollution may remain the same or even increase. Option C is false because transferring harm to a less powerful community increases environmental inequality. Option D refers to the renewal of natural resources and does not describe industrial relocation or the redistribution of pollution.
