Question

what are sustainable use practices?
any materials that exist in nature and that are used by humans
the managed consumption of natural resources to prevent their depletion or environmental destruction
the deployment of fossil fuels to environments that previously did not have access to such resources
ways in which individuals are able to conserve native animal and plant species

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• First option: Defines natural resources, not sustainable use practices.
• Second option: Sustainable use practices involve managing natural resource consumption to avoid depletion/destruction, which matches the definition.
• Third option: Deploying fossil fuels is not sustainable use (fossil fuels are non - renewable and their use often harms the environment).
• Fourth option: Focuses on conserving species, while sustainable use is about resource consumption management, not just species conservation.

Answer:

the managed consumption of natural resources to prevent their depletion or environmental destruction
