are resources that come from living trees. Lumber, pulp, and paper

Pulp, maple syrup, and nuts

Maple syrup, rubber, and nuts

Rubber, pulp, and paper

I would say that the answer is B pulp, maple syrup, and nuts

Explanation:

Lumber and paper require the death of the tree most of the time so the answer is not A or D. Making rubber from a living tree can result in the death or stunted growth of a tree. Maple syrup, nuts, and pulp can be obtained from a tree without killing it so B would be the best answer.

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
