Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Fairness or equity within and between generations are two key ideas of the notion of sustainable development, so inter-generational equity was the one to select here. The other alternatives are either irrelevant or inimical to the achievement of sustainable development (increased saving might be indirectly relevant, depending on what the saving was used for.)
