Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true — The answer is that both statements are true.
Explanation
★The answer is that both statements are true.
★An ethical framework of sustainable development does set out norms for how we should relate to the environment, so Statement I is true.
★The purely human-centred, anthropocentric model has led to harmful environmental consequences, showing it to be misleading, so Statement II is true.
★The two statements together support an ethical, less human-centred view of development.
★So both hold together.
★The consequences of anthropocentrism motivate the ethical framework.
★So the answer is that both statements are true.
