Beatrice Soto · Answer 1

Correct answer is d.

Explanation:

The funding for the Payment for Environmental Services comes mostly from tax revenues on everyone's income. Originally, one part was going to come from fossil fuel tax, but not entirely from that. Therefore answer b is incorrect. A part of the funding also comes from contracts with companies who benefit from the program.
