View Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: C (highlight a broader decline in ) C
Detailed Solution:

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

"The fact that citizens have no remedy available when environmental breaches are ignored at the ministerial level highlights a broader decline in constitutional accountability."
