Final answer:
The NCDENR is responsible for managing North Carolina's environmental and natural resources, while the Superfund program is a federal initiative aimed at cleaning up hazardous waste sites across the nation. The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The entity in North Carolina that is responsible for environmental and natural resources is NCDENR (North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources). This organization's responsibilities include managing and conserving the state's natural and environmental resources, regulating pollution, and ensuring the health and safety of its natural habitats and communities.
In contrast, Superfund is a federal program under CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act) which is intended to clean up sites contaminated with hazardous waste and reduce health risks to both the environment and humans on a national level. Superfund focuses on the National Priorities List which includes sites that are considered the most dangerous and require federal oversight for cleanup efforts. The NCREC, although not related to environment, refers to North Carolina Real Estate Commission, which is unrelated to environmental management. Hence the answer is B.
