d. corrective justice
Reason: The EPA’s mandate and tools focus on regulation, enforcement, cleanup, and ensuring fair treatment/meaningful involvement (environmental justice), so it can back legal policies and broader social/fair-treatment goals. Corrective justice—meaning direct compensation, reparations, or redistributive remedies for past harms—is mainly the role of courts or legislators and is outside the EPA’s primary authority and capacity.
