Answer:

a) increased energy efficiency

if you consider it, increased energy efficiency is also helping to produce positive changes in the global climate

(increased resource use means an increase of the use/removal of naturally occurring materials [it messes with water, soil, wood, animal, etc.] and is not a benefit of scientific advancements)

increased urbanization isn't an objective benefit [and it is not contributed to by scientific advancements]

so, scientific advancements have increased energy efficiency

(a few examples):

- we've invented new ways to harvest energy [solar, nuclear, wind, etc.]

- better operated / more resourceful inventions (we've replaced a lot of very wasteful [mainly car] engines)

hope this helps!!
