Multiple choice question for Natural Resources and the Environment Toward Sustainable Development. Select an option, then review the explanation below.
Explanation
The government charging taxes on polluters or surcharges for pesticide use is an example of internalizing negative externalities, where the external costs of pollution are incorporated into the polluter's expenses. This approach encourages polluters to reduce harmful activities. It is not an example of Coase's theorem, marginal abatement cost, or free rider behavior.
