    Option B and C

    Explanation:

    When we talk about violation, we are referring to breaking rules and regulations of the city. The main reason why we have rules and regulations in the city is for guiding and leading the citizens of the city in the right direction and protect live and properties.

    A look at the options above in the question, options B and C is a treat to lives and property of a city, it is obviously against the rules and regulations of any country in context. no one wants trees to be destroyed, Most government is against that, also breaking into a government facility is a crime. so both of them is against the constitution of any government. So option B and C activities would violate cities.

    The correct answer is letter D

    CITES, which regulates international sales of wild species, has definitively voted to trade giraffes and mako sharks.

    The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) represents more than 180 countries, which meet every two or three years to update the list of species it regulates.

    CITES, created more than 40 years ago, establishes international trade rules for more than 35,000 species of wild fauna and flora and has a mechanism to sanction countries that violate these rules.
