Question

who owns the wildlife in the united states?
○ the federal government
○ landowners
○ all citizens
○ state and local governments

Explanation:

In the United States, wildlife is considered to be owned by all citizens under the public trust doctrine. This means that wildlife resources are held in trust by the government for the benefit of all people, and thus the legal ownership of wildlife rests with all citizens. The federal, state, or local governments manage wildlife on behalf of the citizens, and landowners do not have private ownership of wildlife (they may have rights related to wildlife on their land but not ownership).

Answer:

C. All citizens
