Answer 1

Right answer: People share environmental resources, overuse them, and eventually deplete them

Tragedy of common occurs when common resources are over utilized. Principle of exclusion does not apply in case of common resources, but consumption of these resources is rival in natural.

Thus, users tend to over use these resources.

Environmental resources are common to all and people access these resources recklessly thereby reducing their availability for future generation.
