Answer:

There are three, and only three, options (choices) for society to deal with scarcity, and all societies must deal with scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. Those three options are: ... reduce our wants, and. use our existing resources wisely (Don't waste the few resources that we do have.)
