Identify which of the following is a characteristic of a common pool resource.RegressiveExcludableRivalrousSustainableReport feedbackPrevious

The characteristic of a common pool resource from the options given is "Rivalrous".

Here's why:

1. Regressive: This is a term often used in economics to describe a situation where the rich are taxed less than the poor, which is not related to common pool resources.

2. Excludable: This refers to a good or service that one can prevent others from accessing or using. Common pool resources are typically non-excludable as they are open to all members of a particular community.

3. Rivalrous: This means that the consumption of a good or service by one person reduces the amount available for others. This is a characteristic of common pool resources. For example, if one fisherman catches a fish in a common pond, that fish is no longer available for others to catch.

4. Sustainable: While sustainability is a goal for managing common pool resources, it is not a characteristic. These resources can be overused and depleted.

So, the answer is "Rivalrous".
