An EU juice producer heavily relies on Brazil’s supply of oranges to produce its top-selling orange juice brand. The producer anticipated steady growth, but production decreased due to the rise in mean temperature in Brazil.
The climate-related risk of mean temperature rise in Brazil increases what indirect effect?
The climate-related risk of a rise in mean temperature in Brazil is a chronic physical risk. This increase in temperature reduces the production of oranges, which directly affects the juice producer's ability to maintain production levels of its top-selling orange juice brand. This situation subsequently leads to a negative impact on the profits of the juice producer due to the decreased supply of oranges needed for production.
Temperature rise is chronic, not acute, so D is out. B is best answer
B is best ans
B is the best. Temperature ise is chronic not acute.
B is the best
Seems like all the answers are wrong shomehow. The q's asked for an indirect impact. B is describing a direct impact. Increased temp > reduced production of oranges > lower profits. C would be more appropriate if it didn't have 'acute' in it. Increased temps > worsened working conditions impacting worker's health > indirectly results in reputational risk to the company due to consumer's awareness
