The correct answer is B: Rain washes pesticides off crops and into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean. Agricultural runoff containing pesticides and fertilizers can cause algal blooms and hypoxia, which can lead to massive fish kills and dead zones in the ocean. This type of pollution can also harm coral reefs, which are important ecosystems in the Caribbean.
"Brazil is one of the most important emerging economies in the world. It enjoys a relatively low population density with direct access to the Amazon basin, the largest reserve of freshwater and biodiversity on the planet. These strategic resources are about to be fully explored by Brazil thanks to significant investments in education, science and technology."
