Responses
A deforestationdeforestation
B endangered speciesendangered species
C economic diversityeconomic diversity
D destruction of habitats
C) economic diversity
Explanation: The government's policies on the environmental impact of the timber industry are most likely to focus on issues directly related to the environment, such as deforestation (A), endangered species (B), and the destruction of habitats (D). Economic diversity (C) is an important aspect of a country's overall economic policy, but it is not directly an environmental issue. Policies aimed at addressing the environmental impacts of the timber industry are less likely to focus on economic diversity, as this does not relate specifically to the ecological consequences of timber production. Economic diversity would instead relate to strategies for diversifying the country's economy to reduce reliance on any single sector, such as the timber industry, and promote sustainability and stability across various sectors.
