Okay, so we're in. Ah, problem. Four here, talking about services center unseen. And so what is meant by that? But they're on scene is that they're sort of in direct rates of direct service. Would be like using a plant for medicine with or indirect service's are in direct service. Is there gonna be something more like for the example I'll use for this? The problem would be the prevention of soil erosion. Eso story illusion. And and so it's not something we really think about too much, right? But, um, is certainly is certainly valuable, right, because ah, for example, soil erosion near the site of ah of a bridge could cause a collapse in your damn, um, and in that can cause a lot of damage. Right. So Ah, without it, there could be there could be a lot of damage. So without equals, damage. And and so, if we wantto continue down our list of of items here, um, people really only notice it only notice when disrupted. Right? So when we notice with disruption and this is like I said because, uh, slowly region near and infrastructure. So if you have ah, bridge. I mean, you're not really gonna notice anything, right? Um, this is like a river here until until the time comes when went on these shores, this will has eroded and your bridge collapsed The move a sudden people care, but otherwise I didn't really think about it. Eso this one, this one holds true. Now continue down the list. You have that It's not muted for ecosystems to keep function, which is which is false. It's definitely needed. Um, sort of returns back. It was there. Thio abbreviate ecosystems. Ah, functioning. And so if we go back to this example here with with the bridge collapse, right, there's a whole ecosystem in this river. Uh, that would be disrupted by the sudden collapse of it, Dan. So now, now, the fish, you know, cannot make it upstream or downstream, whichever direction have to be going And, uh, the the new foliage that might have been here, here, uh, plants, animals, homes, displaced, et cetera. And so it's the absence of it could be kind of catastrophic for ecosystems. That was not true. Then we get we get to d. We're looking at we should be knowledgeable about them. Well, this is very true, right? Because if we don't know this, if you don't know all the ways that the prevention of soil erosion are, there's other indirect values like climate regulation, race recycling. Then we don't, uh, put effort into preventing it. Right. So we need we need that education. Ah, the public so that people can put effort into the maintenance of something really important things. And so and so this one's true. So when we're looking at are solution here for problem before you know, if these are sort of an order of a B C D. Going down, then are our solution is going to be e the that both had I'm so both b and D are correct.
