Which of the following steps is an important part of the process by which ecology guides humans to a sustainable future? a. behavior remains unchanged after the root of a problem is identified. b. behavior is modified as a result of an identified cause. c. the causes behind problems aren't identified or studied. d. the problems plaguing ecology are ignored.

The correct answer for the question is B. Behavior is modified as a result of an identified cause.

Ecology deals with the interactions among the organisms and their environment. It guides human to a sustainable future. Sustainable future means there is a balance between ecology, economy, and society.

By understanding every aspect of ecology, human beings first come to know the cause of various issues in the ecosystem. They take the responsibility to do what is possible from their perspective in order to conserve the resources and make a perfect balance for the future needs.

In this way, behavior is modified as a result of an identified cause.
