A. ) The effect of overgrazing by livestock.
B.) The trade-offs between conservation and economic development.
C.) The potential benefit to farmers.
D.) Fair market value for goods created by the office park.

Answer 1

B because discussion of the creation of jobs is economic development, and creating an office park in an area of grassland is conservation

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The trade-offs between conservation and economic development.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although creating an office park can lead to economic development in a community or city, there might be negative impacts in terms of the environment as the office park is going to be built on an area of grassland in which there are multiple animal and plant species that can disappear or reduce due to the new buildings. This implies, in this situation individuals need to consider both the advantages for human/community development and the disadvantages in terms of conservation. Thus, individuals need to discuss "the trade-offs between conservation and economic development."
