Question

Which of the following was a criticism of laws designed to protect the environment?

A. Environmental laws didn't work to clean the environment.

B. Too much regulation could hurt businesses.

C. Too much regulation would clean the water.

D. Too much regulation would attract illegal immigrants.

Answer 1

The correct answer is
B. Too much regulation could hurt businesses.

The criticism is based on the idea that if companies have to implement new technologies they will be at a loss which will hurt the economy. This in turn hurts the workers and the budget so it's better to stick to the old ways instead of implementing environmental laws.
