In some coastal areas of the country, oceans are being over-fished resulting in rapid depletion of the fish population and a scarcity of certain varieties of fish. The reason for over-fishing is that

there is more demand for fish than beef these days.
the fishing areas are unowned and unregulated.
government policy subsidizes fishing.
European demand for fish encourages fish producers to over-fish.

The answer is C.
