Consumptive uses of wildlife include:

• A. Hiking, photographing, kayaking.
• B. Hunting, fishing, trapping.
• C. Conservation planning.
• D. Releasing animals into wild.

Answer: (B)

Consumptive uses of wildlife are activities that directly remove wildlife from the population or harvest its resources for human use. Hunting, fishing, and trapping fit this idea because they involve taking animals or harvesting products like meat, fur, or other commodities from the wild, which changes the wild population. In contrast, activities like hiking, photographing, or kayaking rely on simply viewing or enjoying wildlife without removing animals, so they are non-consumptive uses. Conservation planning is a management activity aimed at protecting species and habitat, not a direct way people use wildlife. Releasing animals into the wild isn’t a typical consumptive use and can disrupt ecosystems. So the option that includes hunting, fishing, and trapping best represents consumptive uses.
