What is the most logical way to cope with the limitations imposed by the three basic physical laws that govern matter? 

A)  Increase the output of low-quality heat. 
B)  Shift to non-polluting nuclear fusion power. 
C)  Increase the input of high-quality energy. 
D)  Use and waste less energy and matter.

The most logical way to cope with the limitations imposed by the three basic physical laws is to use and waste less energy and matter. This is because these physical laws govern the conservation of energy and matter, which means that energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. Therefore, by using and wasting less energy and matter, we can reduce our impact on the environment and conserve resources for future generations. Options A and B do not address the basic physical laws and may actually exacerbate the problem of resource depletion and pollution. Option C may be a partial solution but is not sustainable in the long run.
