The answer is: letter a, an exploitation of the poor.

Explanation:

Tintaya Mine centers on the mining of Peruvian copper. It is located at an elevated height of 4,100 meters along the district of Yauri and is owned by "Xstrata."

It resulted into mining conflicts between the mining company and the community. The movements were primarily made by the poor people who demanded to have a greater share when it comes the the mining's wealth. Since the mining company was degrading the community's environment, the people complained that it was abusing their rights to have a clean supply of water. When it comes to processing ore, a lot of water is being used and mine effluents are being discharged. Thus, this leads to water pollution.

This situation is an example of exploitation of the poor.
