Restricting the hunting of pilot whales would result in an over-population of the species is not an argument that inhabitants of the Faroe Islands used to justify their continued hunting of pilot whales. Option (A) is correct. What do you mean by Community?

A community is a group of people with a common objective or characteristic living together within a larger society. The meat and blubber of the pilot whale are a conventional part of the diet of the Faroese people.

Marine mammal blubber has also historically been managed for lamp oil and for medicinal purposes

.When whales are caught, everything is made use of and nothing goes to waste.

All kinds of foreign food goods can be purchased in Faroese supermarkets, but much of what the Faroese eat is hunted and caught locally. Commercial and household economies work very well side by side in the Faroes. Therefore, Option (A) is correct.
