    The correct anwer for:

    The state of California, often considered a hearth of environmental laws, will be the first state to ban plastic straws. Which of the following statements best describes the likely spread of this environmental practice?

    Similar environmental laws will likely spread through stimulus diffusion to other states via political activism.

    Explanation:

    To understand this answer we need to analyze all off the options.

    a) The president's intervention is not required because California didn't require it. So it is incorrect.

    b) the spread via social media might let people in other states know what just happened in California, however social media doesn't create laws. So it is incorrect.

    c) First of all, this is a good practice, not a contagious diffusion, so it is incorrect. Because it is meant to improve living conditions.

    d) The industry can't rule over government, because the economy is regulated by the government. Also, a socially responsible improvement is not going to be backed if it is for the good of the world.

    e) this is true because political activism can make the other states see the good in the law and improve their lives.
