Read the excerpt from “The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes.”In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to lose some of our wealth, afraid to share.

The speaker says that people in northern countries have more than enough but are “afraid to lose some of our wealth” and afraid to share. This directly supports choice D, that they are afraid to lose what they have. The excerpt mentions buying and throwing away, but it does not say that wasting money is their preference.
