Which of the following characteristics of the apple farm that supplies your grocery store would best help you evaluate the environmental costs of buying the apples?(1 point)

The characteristic that would best help you evaluate the environmental costs of buying the apples is **the apple farm’s distance from the store**.

This is because the distance can impact carbon emissions related to transportation, which is a significant factor in assessing the overall environmental footprint of food products. Other factors, while important, may not directly relate to the environmental costs in the same way transportation does.
