Which of the following best describes 'ethical hunting'?

  1. Taking as many game animals as possible

  2. Using only traditional hunting methods

  3. Respecting wildlife and their habitat

  4. Hunting without a license to save money

The correct answer is: Respecting wildlife and their habitat

Ethical hunting involves respecting the natural balance and sustainability of wildlife in their habitat. Option A, taking as many game animals as possible, goes against this principle as it can lead to overhunting and depleting animal populations. Option B, using only traditional hunting methods, may be ethical but is not a complete definition as it does not address the ethical treatment of animals. Option D, hunting without a license to save money, is not ethical as it is against hunting regulations and can result in fines or other consequences. Therefore, option C, respecting wildlife and their habitat, is the most accurate and complete description of ethical hunting.
