Answer 1

Answer:

D. for

• The Context: The sentence explains that creating a healthier environment is intended to benefit the people who will live in the future ("future generations"). Word Fit: For: This preposition is used to indicate the intended recipient or beneficiary of an action. Since future generations are the ones who will benefit from the healthier environment, "for" is the correct choice. Towards: This usually indicates a direction or movement (e.g., "walking towards the park"). While it can mean "with a view to," it is less natural than "for" when referring to a target group of people. Of: This indicates possession or belonging (e.g., "the car of my father"). It does not fit the logic of doing something to benefit someone. Against: This indicates opposition or conflict. Conserving the environment is not an action taken against future generations.
