Question

Match List I with List II:

LIST I Convention / Protocol	LIST II Objective
A. The Bamako	I. Ban on import of hazardous waste into Africa
B. The Basel	II. To control international exportation of toxic waste
C. Kyoto	III. Reduction in Green-house gases emissions
D. Montreal	IV. Reducing production and usage of ozone depletion substances

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
• B. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• C. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
• D. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Hint:

Match international protocols with their exact environmental focus: Montreal → Ozone, Kyoto → GHGs, Basel → Hazardous Waste, Bamako → Africa-specific waste ban.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

- The Bamako Convention (A) specifically targets hazardous waste imports into Africa — hence (III). - The Basel Convention (B) controls the transboundary movements of hazardous wastes — aligns with (I). - The Kyoto Protocol (C) aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions — corresponds to (IV). - The Montreal Protocol (D) focuses on phasing out ozone-depleting substances — best matches (II).
