Identify the incorrect statement from the following:

Increased pollutants in air lead to respiratory diseases.

The pressure on the absorptive capacity of the environment has reduced over the period.

Wildlife extinction is one of the most pressing issue in India.

India has abundant natural resources such as good quality of soil.

✅ Correct Option: 2

Rising population and industrial activity have generated ever more waste, so the pressure on the absorptive capacity of the environment has increased, not reduced, over time. Statement 2 is therefore incorrect; the other statements about pollution-related diseases, wildlife extinction and India's resource endowment are true.
