Conservationists argue that unconstrained ______ of natural resources, which might deplete them forever, should be replaced with a policy of ______.
A. dismissal…preparation
B. consumption…dispersion
C. harvesting…gathering
D. exploitation…husbandry
E. stockpiling…extirpation
 

 unconstrained  不受拘束...

Choice (D) is correct. "Exploitation" refers to the selfish and unethical use of something. "Husbandry" means careful management of natural resources. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Conservationists argue that unconstrained exploitation of natural resources, which might deplete them forever, should be replaced with a policy of husbandry." The phrase "should be replaced with" indicates that the two missing terms contrast each other. "Husbandry," or conservation, certainly counters environmental "exploitation."
