Q.1	Noah is exploring the impact of nutrient pollution on marine ecosystems. How does nutrient pollution, such as excess nitrogen and phosphorus, primarily affect marine habitats?
	a) Enhancing biodiversity by promoting the growth of various marine species.		b) Decreasing oxygen levels and causing harmful algal blooms.
	c) Balancing pH levels in affected marine environments.		d) Strengthening the resilience of marine food webs.

Q.2	While exploring climate change's impact on ocean health, a group of students identified a process significantly contributing to ocean acidification. What aspect of climate change primarily leads to the acidification of the ocean, affecting marine organisms?
	a) Decreased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.		b) Elevated ocean temperatures foster favourable conditions for marine life.
	c) Increased carbon dioxide absorption by the oceans, altering their pH levels.		d) Reduced water pollution due to stricter environmental regulations.

Q.3	Max loves animals and often visits a nearby park to watch them. He noticed that the park was being divided by roads and buildings, making it harder for animals to move around freely. What is this breaking up of habitats called?
	a) Habitat preservation		b) Habitat enrichment
	c) Habitat fragmentation		d) Habitat expansion

Q.4	A conservation organisation monitored the population growth of a critically endangered bird species over five years. The graph below illustrates the findings: Based on the graph, what can be inferred about the conservation efforts for this bird species?
	a) The efforts have been ineffective.		b) The population decline continues.
	c) There has been a successful increase in the bird population.		d) The population has remained stable.

Q.5	A local community organises a recycling event. They provide separate collection bins for paper, plastic, glass, and electronic waste. Which of the following actions is appropriate at the event?
	a) Throwing all items in the same bin.		b) Separating and placing each type of recyclable in its designated bin.
	c) Mixing paper, plastic, glass, and electronic waste in one container.		d) Ignoring the event and leaving recyclables at home.

Q.6	Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, contribute to sustainable development by reducing reliance on finite resources. Which choice supports this statement?
	a) Renewable energy sources have a higher environmental impact than fossil fuels.		b) Renewable energy sources are insufficient to meet energy demands.
	c) Renewable energy sources depend solely on non-renewable resources.		d) Renewable energy sources offer alternatives to finite resources for long-term sustainability.

Q.7	Sofia is exploring the impact of food transportation on greenhouse gas emissions. Which food choice generally requires the least transportation and thereby has a lower carbon footprint?
	a) Exotic fruits imported from distant countries.		b) Seasonal vegetables from a nearby farm.
	c) Packaged frozen foods from international markets.		d) Canned goods transported via air freight.

Q.8	A rapidly growing city is planning its expansion. Developer A proposes building high-rise apartments with minimal green space to maximise housing, while Developer B advocates for incorporating several large parks and green corridors throughout the development. A heated debate ensues, with arguments for and against each approach. Which developer makes the stronger case for the city's long-term well-being, and why?
	a) Developer A, as maximising housing density reduces transportation demands and promotes social interaction.		b) Developer B, as urban green spaces contribute to cleaner air, lower temperatures, and improved mental health of residents.
	c) Both developers offer equally valid points, and the decision should be based on economic considerations.		d) Neither developer, as further studies are needed on the impact of green spaces in megacities.

Q.9	The students are examining nuclear energy and its environmental implications. Considering their long-term impact and safety hazards, what constitutes the primary environmental concern linked to nuclear power plants?
