Question

environmental problems do not necessarily coincide with
select one:
○ a. ethical rules.
○ b. social and political decisions.
○ c. scientific laws.
○ d. organic chemistry.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Ethical rules can relate to environmental issues (e.g., environmental ethics), so environmental problems can coincide with ethical rules.
• Option b: Social and political decisions often address environmental problems (e.g., climate policies), so they can coincide.
• Option c: Scientific laws (e.g., laws of thermodynamics, ecological principles) underpin environmental processes, so environmental problems are related to scientific laws.
• Option d: Organic chemistry is a specific branch of chemistry focused on carbon - based compounds. Environmental problems (like climate change, habitat loss) are broader and not necessarily related to organic chemistry. Environmental issues may involve other areas of chemistry, biology, geology, etc., and many environmental problems have little to do with organic chemistry directly.

Answer:

d. organic chemistry
