A. LDCs are usually more sustainable than MDCs
B. Sustainability in LDCs and MDCs is comparable
C. LDCs are usually less sustainable than MDCs
D. Sustainability is unrelated to development


参考答案:  C


本题详细解析:

C

$\underset{‾}{\text{Explanation}}$:
Even though MDCs generally have higher resource consumption which tends to threaten sustainability, they also have better infrastructure and technology, stricter environmental regulations, and greater education and awareness. Therefore LDCs tend to be less sustainable than MDCs.

Choices A and B do not correctly compare LDCs and MDCs. Choice D is incorrect because sustainability is a key factor differentiating economic growth from economic development.
