Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
Several international agreements were adopted over time to regulate trade and protect the environment.

Step 1:
The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was established in 1947. \[ D \text{ comes first} \]

Step 2:
The Ramsar Convention on wetlands was signed in 1971. \[ B \text{ comes after D} \]

Step 3:
The Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer was adopted in 1987. \[ C \text{ comes after B} \]

Step 4:
The Kyoto Protocol related to climate change was adopted in 1997. \[ A \text{ comes last} \]
