Question

a local government prohibits homeowners from watering their lawns or washing their cars during a drought. which of the following terms best describes what is occurring? a. renewing b. rationing c. composting d. decreasing please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

Rationing is the controlled distribution of scarce resources. During a drought, water is scarce, and the local - government's prohibition on non - essential water uses like lawn watering and car washing is a form of rationing to conserve water. Renewing doesn't relate to this context. Composting is about organic waste decomposition. Decreasing is a general term and not as specific as rationing in this case.

Answer:

B. rationing
