Which example links human rights protection with environmental justice?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Pollution affecting health and life of a poor settlement
The governing concept is environmental justice: environmental burdens and benefits should not be distributed in a way that unfairly harms already disadvantaged people. Pollution in a poor settlement may damage health, shorten lives, reduce children’s opportunities and undermine dignity. It can therefore become a human-rights concern, especially when authorities ignore complaints or permit unequal exposure without safeguards. Option A correctly connects environmental harm with life, health and equality. Options B, C and D describe ordinary events without showing a rights-related environmental injury, unequal burden or threat to human well-being.
