Detailed explanation and options for the selected question.

What is the main purpose of the "Polluter Pays Principle"?

A. Encourage renewable energy use
B. Ensure that polluters bear the cost of their environmental impact
C. Promote afforestation programs
D. Increase taxes on non-polluting industries

Explanation:

The Polluter Pays Principle mandates that those who cause pollution bear the cost of managing it. Encouraging renewable energy is a separate policy goal. Afforestation is unrelated, and taxing non-polluting industries contradicts the principle’s focus on polluters.
