Explanation:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is an agency of the United States government which main objective is to assure environmental protection. EPA enforces environmental justice by rewarding or punishing parties that comply with, or break environmental laws respectively.

A. rewarding or punishing parties that comply with, or break environmental laws respectively

Explanation:

The Environmental Protection Agency is a federal institution that aims to maintain the integrity of nature, involving the protection of air, land and water, to ensure biosustainability and the preservation of natural resources throughout the United States.

As we know, large industries tend to care little for environmental preservation and take more from nature than they need, and care little about the waste left by their industrial activities. This has been a major challenge for the Environmental Protection Agency, because in addition to those that pollute, there are organizations that preserve nature. This has caused the Environmental Protection Agency to be concerned with rewarding or punishing parties that comply or break environmental laws, respectively.
