Carter McLaughlin · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Establishing and enforcing property rights on national lands is easier compared to international waters, as there is a governing body that has jurisdiction and can regulate and monitor activities taking place on that land. In contrast, international waters are unregulated, and hence, it's challenging to monitor and prevent overfishing.
