The doctrine of INTERGENERATIONAL EQUITY in environmental law, recognized by Indian Supreme Court, holds that:

1. INTERGENERATIONAL EQUITY is a foundational doctrine of sustainable development articulated by Edith Brown Weiss ('In Fairness to Future Generations', 1989). 2. The doctrine holds: the present generation holds the planet IN TRUST for future generations; each generation has obligations to: (i) CONSERVE OPTIONS (preserve diversity of resources); (ii) CONSERVE QUALITY (leave the planet no worse than it received); (iii) CONSERVE ACCESS (equitable access for all members of the present generation). 3. The Brundtland Report 1987 articulated sustainable development as 'meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.' 4. Indian Supreme Court endorsed this in cases like A.P. Pollution Control Board v. Prof. M.V. Nayudu (II), AIR 2001 SC 3215. 5. Hence option B is correct. _Source: EPA 1986 / Constitution of India / Stockholm/Rio/Paris / Indian SC environmental jurisprudence — Intergenerational Equity doctrine; Brundtland Report 1987; Edith Brown Weiss's writings; cited in Indian Supreme Court judgments_
