Damming the Kaveri River would provide irrigation for the dry land in its upstream areas; unfortunately, a dam would reduce agricultural productivity in the fertile land downstream by reducing the availability and quality of the water there. The productivity loss in the downstream area would be greater than the productivity gain upstream, so building a dam would yield no overall gain in agricultural productivity in the region as a whole.The reasoning in the argument above most closely parallels that in which one of the following?radio_button_uncheckedDisease-causing bacteria in eggs can be destroyed by overcooking the eggs, but the eggs then become much less appetizing; health is more important than taste, however, it is better to overcook eggs than not to do so.radio_button_uncheckedIncreasing the price of transatlantic telephone calls will discourage many private individuals from making them.

Therefore, it is better to rest at home than to see a doctor for these illnesses.

Economic benefits of building large dams include which of the following?I. Storage of water for agriculture and domestic useII. Controlling floods upstreamIII. Production of renewable energy
