a. In a system of voluntary restriction, if one person takes more than his or her share, it will ruin the system for everyone.

b. Poorer nations will not grow and prosper if the rich continue to take property and wealth from them.

c. If everyone believes the same thing, there will be no new ideas from which people can learn and grow.

d. A country that doesn't allow its citizens to rule themselves will often fail and fall into chaos and disarray.

It's A. For apex bruh

I think what you are looking for the " tragedy's of the commons is:

The fundamental error of the sharing ethics is that it leads to the tragedy of the commons. Under systems of private property the man (or group of men) who own property recognize their responsibility to care for it, for if they don't they will eventually suffer. (I. E.) The social system is stable only if it is insensitive to errors. To the Christian-Marxian idealist a selfish person is a sort of "error". Prosperity in the system of the commons cannot survive errors. If everyone would only restrain himself, all would be well; but it takes only one less than everyone to ruin a system of voluntary restraint. In a crowded world of less than perfect human beings--and we will never known any other--mutual ruin is inevitable in the commons. This is the core of the tragedy of the commons.

Your answer is D.
