    Answer:b) voluntary simplicity

    Explanation:

    What is voluntary simplicity?

    Voluntary simplicity in simple terms is choosing to live a simple life without demanding too much materialistic things or riches of this world.

    People adopt voluntary simplicity in order to make their lives to be as simple as they can be for them and their families as a result putting less stress on the environment as they demand less and less from it.

    Voluntary simplicity discourages the idea of searching for happiness in wealth and the belief that one can be happier only if they have accumulated more materiaristic things of this world.

    When people have chosen voluntary simplicity it reduces the demand they put on environmental resources which has a positive impact on the environment.

    People who live this way believe we are free to have enough but not more than what we need.

    Instead of looking for expensive goods, cars and big houses they choose simple life where one can own just one car (less pollution) in an average house
