Question 4

• Option A: The shaded region (North America) has diverse climates, not just temperate, so A is wrong.
• Option B: The North American tectonic plate includes more than just the land shown (e.g., parts of oceanic crust), so B is wrong.
• Option C: The shaded region (US, Canada, Mexico) are in NAFTA (a trade agreement), so C fits.
• Option D: These three countries don't use the same currency (US dollar, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso), so D is wrong.

• Option A: Debt forgiveness for rainforest - preserving countries is a creative, feasible method to incentivize conservation, as it helps nations focus on preservation.
• Option B: Rainforests require tropical conditions; planting in non - tropical regions won't work, so B is wrong.
• Option C: Encouraging farmer migration to urban areas doesn't directly address rainforest preservation in a sustainable, targeted way, so C is wrong.
• Option D: Trade sanctions harm economies and don't promote preservation positively, so D is wrong.
