Which approach to sustainable development considers the economic viability of development projects? Sociocultural Approach Economic Approach None of the above Biophysical Approach 9. What role does education play in Nigeria's sustainable development? No role, since education is not linked to sustainability Minimal, as it is not a focus of development policies Negative, as it leads to higher resource consumption Central, in fostering a culture of environmental awareness 10. What type of waste management strategy is being promoted to reduce plastic pollution? Recycling and upcycling Landfill expansion Incineration without energy recovery Unregulated dumping 11.

How do poaching activities affect Nigeria's wildlife? They have no significant effect They lead to species endangerment They improve the genetic diversity of species They increase animal populations 20. What is the significance of the half-life of a radioactive substance? It is the time it takes for the radioactivity to fully disappear It measures the time needed for the substance to become stable without any decay It represents the time required for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay It indicates the time it takes for the substance to become twice as radioactive 1 out of 2
