Question

how could implementing a quota system help prevent the tragedy of the commons in a grazing area? by increasing the number of cattle allowed per rancher by limiting the number of cattle each rancher can graze by allowing unrestricted grazing for everyone by removing all cattle from the grazing area

Explanation:

The Tragedy of the Commons occurs when individuals overuse a shared resource. A quota system for grazing would limit each rancher's cattle to prevent overgrazing. Increasing cattle (first option) or allowing unrestricted grazing (third) would worsen the tragedy. Removing all cattle (fourth) is extreme and not a quota - based solution. Limiting each rancher's cattle (second option) aligns with quota's purpose.

Answer:

B. by limiting the number of cattle each rancher can graze
