Which act is listed as an environmental protection measure in the material?

• A. Clean Water Act
• B. National Environmental Policy Act
• C. Environmental Protection Act
• D. Endangered Species Act

Answer: (C)

Focus on how each act frames protection. An act with “Environmental Protection” in its title signals a broad, general protection role for the environment, which makes it the most fitting environmental protection measure listed in the material. The Environmental Protection Act fits this description as a broad statute aimed at safeguarding environmental resources. In contrast, the Clean Water Act targets water pollution specifically; the National Environmental Policy Act requires environmental impact analyses for federal actions rather than broad protection; and the Endangered Species Act concentrates on protecting particular species and their habitats. So, the Environmental Protection Act is the one identified as the environmental protection measure.
