Explanation:

1A

• Option A: Driving a car uses fuel (a natural resource like petroleum).
• Option B: Turning on lights uses electricity, which is often generated from natural resources like coal, gas, or hydro (water is a natural resource).
• Option C: Manufacturing a computer uses materials like metals (mined from natural resources) and plastics (derived from petroleum, a natural resource). So all options consume natural resources.

A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (primarily carbon dioxide, but also others like methane) emitted directly or indirectly by an individual, organization, event, or product. It includes emissions from activities like using energy (e.g., heating a home, driving), manufacturing goods, and waste disposal. It represents the impact of human actions on climate change by quantifying the carbon - related environmental burden.
