The majority of europe’s raw materials are imported. consider the relationship between that fact and the air and water pollution in europe today. what best explains this relationship?   a. europe imports large amounts of raw materials for its manufacturing industry, and industrialization without regulation has resulted in air and water pollution. b. europe requires large amounts of raw materials to replace those which have been depleted, and the mining and lumbering of europe’s raw materials led to air and water pollution. c. the region is struggling with air and water pollution caused by careless farming practices. d. the industrial revolution is largely to blame for the air and water pollution in europe today.

The correct answer is A. Europe imports large amounts of raw materials for its manufacturing industry, and industrialization without regulation has resulted in air and water pollution.

Explanation:

Air and water pollution refers to the existence of pollutants such as chemicals or nocive particles in the water and gases such as carbon monoxide or sulfur in the air. In general terms, this contamination is caused by different human activities, but mainly attributed to factories and considering the excerpt states Europe imports raw materials it can be assumed in Europe there are many factories and industries that create products by using these raw materials and therefore, the contamination can be attributed to the industrialization or the lack of regulation in ti. Therefore, the statement that best explains the relationship between pollution and raw materials that are imported is "Europe imports large amounts of raw materials for its manufacturing industry, and industrialization without regulation has resulted in air and water pollution".
