When you look at countries that have high levels of GDP and compare them to countries with very low levels of GDP, what, according to our text, can you say about the relationship between GDP and the country's pollution levels?

Group of answer choices

There is no direct relationship between a country's GDP and the average amount of pollution emitted.

There is a definite trade-off in some instances (more manufacturing, more pollution). However, as a country develops it relies more on service industries (which pollute less); in addition, wealthier countries have more resources to fight pollution.

There is a negative relationship in most instances (manufacturing and services). However, as a country develops it relies more on information technology industries (which pollute more); in addition, wealthier countries tend to spend less money on fighting pollution.

There is a positive relationship between a country's GDP and the average amount of pollution emitted (the higher GDP, the more pollution).

There is a negative relationship between a country's GDP and the average amount of pollution emitted (the higher GDP, the less pollution).
