Explanation:

Question 6

Cap - and - trade policies involve setting a cap (total upper allowed limit) on emissions and allowing trading of permits if the limit is not met. Incentives are general rewards, tax breaks are tax - related, and regulations are rules without the trading aspect. So this is cap - and - trade policies.

Environmental science studies the environment and its components, including measuring tree diameters for ecological or environmental studies. Environmental activism is about advocating for the environment, and ecology focuses more on relationships between organisms. Measuring tree diameters is part of environmental science.

The environment includes living (plants, animals, humans) and non - living (nonliving portion of an area, man - made structures) components. So options a, b, and c are all part of the environment, so the answer is all of the above.

Answer:

b. cap - and - trade policies
