Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Mercury.
According to the source, the Minamata Convention on Mercury is an international treaty designed to protect human health and the environment from anthropogenic emissions and releases of mercury and mercury compounds.
The term 'anthropogenic' refers to emissions or releases resulting from human activities.
For examination preparation, the most important direct association is Minamata Convention — Mercury — protection of human health and environment.
Students should not confuse it with international environmental agreements related to ozone depletion, greenhouse gases or nuclear safety.
The distractors in this question are deliberately chosen from other environmental themes.
CFCs and related substances are commonly associated with ozone-layer issues, while nuclear radiation belongs to a completely different category of international safety concern.
The Minamata Convention specifically concerns mercury.
The source's wording is particularly useful for statement-based questions because it gives the purpose clearly: protection against anthropogenic emissions and releases of mercury and mercury compounds.
Therefore a future question might not ask simply 'Mercury'; it may provide a statement about protecting human health and the environment from mercury pollution and ask students to identify the convention.
The safest revision chain is: Minamata Convention on Mercury — international treaty — human health and environmental protection — anthropogenic emissions
releases of mercury and mercury compounds.
The source does not provide the signing date, place, entry-into-force date or institutional structure in this explanation, so those points have not been presented as source-derived facts.
According to the book, option (d), Mercury, is correct.
सही उत्तर पारा अर्थात Mercury है। स्रोत के अनुसार Minamata Convention on Mercury एक international treaty है जिसका उद्देश्य मानव स्वास्थ्य और पर्यावरण को human activities से होने वाले mercury तथा mercury compounds के emissions और releases से सुरक्षित रखना है। यहां 'anthropogenic' का अर्थ मानव गतिविधियों के कारण उत्पन्न होने वाले emissions या releases से है। परीक्षा के लिए मुख्य association है: Minamata Convention — Mercury — Human Health + Environment Protection। इसे ozone depletion, CFC/HFC या nuclear radiation से संबंधित agreements के साथ भ्रमित नहीं करना चाहिए। प्रश्न के distractors जानबूझकर अलग-अलग environmental issues से लिए गए हैं। CFC जैसे substances सामान्य रूप से ozone layer से संबंधित प्रश्नों में आते हैं, जबकि nuclear radiation एक अलग safety issue है। Minamata Convention का विशिष्ट संबंध mercury pollution से है। Source की explanation statement-based questions के लिए भी उपयोगी है क्योंकि इसमें treaty का purpose स्पष्ट है: anthropogenic emissions और releases of mercury and mercury compounds से human health और environment की रक्षा। भविष्य के प्रश्न में सीधे 'Mercury' न पूछकर इस purpose का description देकर convention का नाम पूछा जा सकता है। इसलिए केवल option याद करने के बजाय पूरा relation याद करें: Minamata Convention on Mercury — International Treaty — Mercury Pollution — Human Health and Environmental Protection। स्रोत इस explanation में signing date, place या entry into force की details नहीं देता, इसलिए उन्हें source-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। पुस्तक के अनुसार विकल्प (d), Mercury, सही उत्तर है।
