Accepted Answer

Correct Option: (C) Both 1 and 2 The passage discusses the environmental threats associated with long-distance food transportation and processing, including pollution, food waste, and destruction of rainforests. This implies that consuming regionally grown food is more eco-friendly. The passage also mentions the increased demand for preservation and packaging, which puts a burden on natural resources. Therefore, both statements are true. [cite: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]
