Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The core of a biosphere reserve is the area where the most restricted human activities take place in order to protect the natural resources and biodiversity of the ecosystem. Therefore, the only activities that would be permitted in the core are those that have minimal impact such as light ecotourism and research. Hunting and fishing would not be permitted, as these activities involve the removal of wildlife from the ecosystem.
