In which situation can human rights protection and environmental justice connect?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Pollution affecting the health and life of a poor community
Human rights and environmental justice connect when environmental harm places an unequal burden on people, especially communities with fewer resources or less political power. Serious pollution can damage health, reduce life chances, contaminate water and threaten a safe livelihood. Therefore, option A is correct because it presents both environmental injury and a possible violation of dignity, health and equality. The other options describe ordinary school, market or sporting activities and do not show environmental harm, unequal exposure or a rights-related injustice. A useful exam approach is to ask who is affected, what harm occurs and whether the burden is distributed unfairly. This situation may require regulation, accountability and access to remedy.
