Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence given in the question is the same as A. And in both to be correct there must be a comma before the first "and" as the current way no does not link to expanses but we want it to be linked. If we put, or with then this link is established. However, also with no is not that common, and hence we should opt for Without. Hence, we are left with D and E. However, E means hunting is allowed, and people do not hunt, which is not true. Hence, D is the correct answer.
