Correct Answer:
B. The First International Conference on Protection of
the North Sea
Explanation:
The precautionary principle was first introduced at the First International Conference on the Protection of the North Sea, held in Bremen, Germany, in 1984. This concept suggests that if an action or policy has a suspected risk of causing harm to the public or the environment, protective measures should be taken even if some cause-and-effect relationships are not yet fully established scientifically. While it was later popularized and formalized in agreements like the 1992 Rio Declaration (Earth Summit) and the Kyoto Protocol, its international origins are rooted in the 1984 North Sea conference.
