Which of the following best describes 'ethical hunting'?

  1. Maximizing the number of game harvested

  2. Hunting as many species as possible

  3. Using only high-powered rifles

  4. Respecting wildlife and natural resources

The correct answer is: Respecting wildlife and natural resources

'Ethical hunting' is not about maximizing the number of game harvested, as that would go against the principles of respect for wildlife. Hunting as many species as possible can also be considered unethical, as it can lead to overhunting and damaging ecosystems. Using only high-powered rifles is not a defining factor of ethical hunting, as it is more important to have proper skills and knowledge in hunting techniques. The best answer, D, emphasizes the importance of respecting wildlife and natural resources, which is a core principle of ethical hunting.
