Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A, B, D, E and F only A, B and D only B, D, E and F only A, D, E and F only

Answer & Explanation +

Answer:

Option A :– A, B, D, E and F only

Explanation:

Statements A, B, D, E and F are correct and show drivers, impacts, policy measures, participation and data needs. Statement C is false because there is not yet a universally accepted, binding international legal category of “climate refugees”. Therefore, the correct set is A, B, D, E and F only.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it includes all true statements and excludes C, which overstates the current legal status of climate displacement protections.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it omits E and F, underplaying both rights-based participation and the importance of data for planning.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it omits A and therefore misses slow-onset drivers like sea-level rise/desertification.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it omits B, so it underrepresents major livelihood/housing/service challenges faced by displaced people.
