b.

all of these answers.
To determine the correct answer for the percentage of the habitable area of the planet altered by human activities, you can refer to Conservation International's estimate. Without that information, it is not possible to provide an accurate answer.
As for the question about what would make the statement false, "Economic growth is accomplished by minimizing the flow of matter and energy through an economy" would be the most appropriate answer. This response contradicts the general understanding that economic growth typically involves increased production and consumption, which results in greater resource use and energy consumption.
Therefore, the correct answer would be:
b. Economic growth is accomplished by minimizing the flow of matter and energy through an economy.
