The purpose of the basel convention was to address concerns over
a. higher tariffs.
b. inferior product dumping.
c. hazardous waste disposal.
d. international monopolistic companies.
e. new technology patent infringement.

Option C, hazardous waste disposal, is the right answer.

Explanation:

An international treaty that was approved to reduce the progress of hazardous waste between countries, and particularly to restrict the transference of hazardous waste from advanced to less-developed nations, is known as the Basel Convention. However, the movement does not address radioactive waste. The intention of this convention is to reduce the volume and toxicity of wastes created, to secure their environmentally prudent control as nearly as practical to the cause of formation, and to assist less-developed nations in the environmentally prudent supervision of the dangerous and other garbage they produce.
