Correct Answer: degeneration


Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

The word "degeneration" is a suitable synonym for "degradation" in this context because both terms convey a similar idea of a decline or deterioration in the quality or condition of something. In the sentence, "degradation" is used to describe the negative impact on the planet's condition, and "degeneration" aligns with this sense of a decline or worsening of the planet's state.

The other options provided, such as "approval", "pollution", and "hazard", do not have the same meaning as "degradation".
