Correct answer is (D). The environmental impact of producing the product in terms of carbon emissions and energy consumptions was unacceptable

Explanation:

Patagonia is very cautious of environmental sustainability by putting into consideration the effect of carbon emission which may cause depletion of ozone layer. By carrying out analysis of energy required for production of the product, Patagonia also discovered that consumption was high which was unacceptable.
