D. is the answer as both statement 1 & 2 represents resource scarcity.

In statement 1 (Rapidly growing economies experience increasing levels

of water pollution), here the scarcity is of fresh water.

In statement 2 (There is a finite amount of petroleum in the physical

environment), here the scarcity of petroleum can be seen

Statement 3 is not scarcity because cassette tapes are not in demand any more so their production is been stopped.

Cassette tapes no longer being produced is not an example of resources scarcity.

Resource scarcity refers to when there is a shortage of a certain resource which is necessary for the production of a good or service. In the options given, the instances where there is scarcity are:

First option because the scarce resource is petroleum The second option which shows a scarcity of water as a result of droughtsThe third option where physicians are in short supply which means that they are the scarce resource The fifth option where the scarce resource is a lack on instructional technology.

Cassette tapes no longer being produced is not a result of scarcity but rather because technology has moved on from it and new technologies have led to the development of blue ray disks and flash drives.

Prior to the creation of the us constitution, the general view of representative government is that it only worked in very small-scale environments- essentially a city-state or smaller. otherwise, the actual reflection of popular will declined in the representatives (ie, the difference between 1 representative per 100 citizens and 1 representative per 10,000 citizens), and generally the whole process became inefficient and self-destructive.james madison, however, was like 'no beezy'. he remarked that small republics were prone to faction and thus collapsed quickly. a large republic, he said, had so many interests and factions that none could rule, and thus they had to moderate and compromise.
