The correct answer is: Sustainable development

Sustainable development is the management of natural resources and ecosystem services in such a way that they don't get depleted and affected while using them. Through sustainable development, natural resources are able to meet the demands of humans without depleting so that they are available for future generations as well. Natural resources are depleting at a fast rate due to increased demand by increased population. If they won't be used in a sustainable manner, our future generations won't get these resources. Moreover, the exploitation of natural resources has many impacts on the environment. So, the correct answer is 'sustainable development'.
