TheJevons paradoxoccurs whenincreased efficiency in using a resource leads to a higher overall consumption of that resourcerather than a decrease.
Example:As fuel efficiency improves in cars, people maydrive more, increasing overall fuel consumption.
This effect can reduce the expected benefits of energy efficiency measures.
Option A relates to climate economics but does not describe the Jevons paradox.
Option C describes the albedo effect, not Jevons paradox.
