What is the purpose of environmental impact assessment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Studying possible environmental effects before a project

Environmental impact assessment, or EIA, is a systematic process used before approval or implementation of a major project. It identifies likely effects on air, water, soil, biodiversity, livelihoods, and communities, compares alternatives, and proposes mitigation and monitoring measures. Therefore, option A is correct: studying possible environmental effects in advance allows planners and authorities to modify, relocate, regulate, or reject a project when necessary. Option B is too narrow because EIA considers benefits and harms, not benefits alone. Options C and D are incorrect because EIA does not stop every development project and is not merely a cost-reduction exercise.
