Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Costs on society generally resulting from the firm's environmental breaches are often difficult to quantify and assign to a specific firm. This can make it challenging to include these costs in an environmental management accounting system. For example, it may be difficult to determine the cost of damage to the climate, or the health costs associated with exposure to pollution.
