Q.1	A group of scientists conducted a study on the impact of deforestation in a particular region. They observed an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Which role of forests in mitigating climate change was directly affected in this scenario?
	a) Soil erosion prevention		b) Providing shade to reduce temperature
	c) Carbon storage		d) Enhancing nutrient cycling

Q.2	A tourist is exploring a kelp forest. What is the primary benefit of kelp forests in the marine ecosystem?
	a) Kelp forests have no impact on providing food and shelter for various marine species		b) Kelp forests do not assist in absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
	c) Kelp forests have no connection to maintaining the balance of marine food webs		d) Kelp forests provide habitats for numerous marine organisms and contribute to nutrient cycling

Q.3	What does "affordability" mean concerning food security?
	a) The cost of food in different seasons		b) The ability of people to buy the food they need
	c) The number of food items available in a store		d) The taste and quality of the food available

Q.4	In a coastal town, residents have noticed a significant increase in the intensity and frequency of storms and hurricanes over the past few years. What could be linked to the observed stronger and more frequent storms and hurricanes?
	a) Declining sea levels providing more energy for storm systems.		b) Warmer ocean waters intensifying storm development.
	c) Decline in global population density.		d) Reduced levels of atmospheric humidity.

Q.5	In Country X, the government is facing the challenges of adapting to climate change impacts, particularly in regions prone to floods and hurricanes. They've initiated various strategies to mitigate these effects. Which of the following strategies is/are NOT a viable approach for Country X to adapt to climate change impacts based on the case study? 1. Implementing sustainable resource management practices. 2.
