Correct Answer: meet


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The sentence talks about a shift in how we handle the world's energy, water, food, and sanitation needs. Meet is the most appropriate term to convey the idea of addressing or fulfilling these needs, aligning with the broader theme of managing resources in the context of climate change, pollution, and depleting natural resources.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Had is the past tense of "have", indicating possession or occurrence in the past.

  • Have indicates possession or occurrence in the present.

  • See means to perceive with the eyes.

Therefore, the correct answer is meet.
