The correct answer is

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

The Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3Rs) principle is the fundamental strategy for sustainable resource use. Reducing consumption lowers demand for raw materials; reusing items extends their life and cuts manufacturing; recycling recovers materials to make new products instead of extracting virgin resources.

All other options (use and discard, produce more and consume more, extract as much as possible) increase resource extraction, pollution, and waste, adding pressure on the environment rather than reducing it.

The correct answer is : Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
