d. a publicly perceived risk of siting a toxic or nuclear waste disposal facility near their homes.

Explanation:

"NIMBY" literally means "Not In My Back Yard". It is a pejorative to describe the reaction of a group of people, generally, homeowners, who refuse to build a facility that they consider to be dangerous for themselves, a property, their community, or even their lifestyle.

This attitude is viewed in a bad way since people generally refuse to let the construction be carried out for personal reasons, they even agree that the construction should be carried out in another distant place.

An example of this is when the government wants to build an airport, people generally do not want to build them near their homes because of the increased noise it generates, but they always agree that more airports be built.
