I thought it was just about clean-up costs, not a principle.

I think it’s A too, but I remember a question where "Consumer pays" was mentioned in a different context.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like "Clean-up costs" could be related. We had a practice question about financial responsibility for pollution.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the options. "Consumer wins" and "Consumer pays" both sound like they could be related to the principle, but I think the key is that the responsibility lies with the organization that created the pollution, not the consumer. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. The options seem a bit tricky - "Clean-up costs" and "Consumer pays" both sound related, but I think the key is that the polluter should be the one held responsible financially.

I'm pretty confident this is the "Polluter pays" principle, since the question is asking about the principle that organizations responsible for pollution should be financially liable for fixing it.

Okay, I think I've got this. The question is asking about the principle that says polluters should pay for the damage they cause, so the right answer has to be "Polluter pays". I'm feeling good about this one.

Consumer wins? Hah, more like the environment wins when polluters get their due. A is the answer.

Clean-up costs? More like 'clean-up catastrophe' if you ask me. Option A all the way!
