Answer:
The correct answer is C: "The aim of large logging operations in tropical rain forests is economic gain, rather than sustainability. Therefore, the shared resources in the forest could become depleted".
Step-by-step explanation:
The tragedy of the commons occurs when natural resources of collective use inevitably derive in overexploitation which finally leads to its destroying or depletion.
It describes a situation in which individuals, motivated by their own personal interest, end up overexploiting some limited resources that are shared with other individuals. It reflects a social context over common resources -such as seas, forests, rainforests, grasses, sweet water, among others- where personal interests get in conflicts with common interests. Overexploitation of a common resource by a single individual, on many occasions, end up reducing the social well being and even damaging the individual that is producing the damage.
This is happening in the rainforests, where a few companies are being temporally economically beneficiated by large logging operations. Every small native population -that are living and depending on the land, on the trees, and the forest ecosystem in a general aspect- are being damaged by these operations, as they are deprived of using these resources.
