Detailed Solution

Development which meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of the future explains the concept of sustainable development.
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. An example of sustainable development is using renewable resources like solar energy and wind energy for development purposes. The first option is incorrect as it focuses on future generations only and completely ignores rather than limits the needs of the present age. The second option is wrong as it only skips the future and focuses on the current generation. The third option is correct since it has an apparent reference to how well the needs of both generations should be met.
