Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Several international environmental agreements were signed over time to address pollution and environmental protection.

Step 1:
The London Convention related to marine pollution was adopted in 1972. \[ A \text{ comes first} \]

Step 2:
The Geneva Convention on Long-range Trans-boundary Air Pollution was adopted in 1979. \[ B \text{ comes after A} \]

Step 3:
The Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer was signed in 1985. \[ C \text{ comes after B} \]

Step 4:
The Rio Earth Summit and related conventions took place in 1992. \[ D \text{ comes last} \]

Step 5:
Thus, the correct chronological order is: \[ A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \rightarrow D \] \[ \boxed{\text{(1) A-B-C-D}} \]
