Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The text suggests that resource dilemmas may not be fatal because humans have the cognitive capacity to solve problems. While the text does not explicitly state that they are rarely fatal, it does suggest that solutions may be found to mitigate the impact of the dilemma. The text also does not suggest that resource dilemmas are always fatal or that they have always been fatal in the past.
