Answer 1

The correct answer is - option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ecological footprints can be understood simply by that it is an activity that is measured to produce a product in terms of consumption of resources like land or water and other resources.

Purchasing a specific type of food from local farms does not affect the ecological footprint of vera. Transportation is also included in the ecological footprint as it is also counted as one of the resources required.

Thus, the correct answer is - option A.
