2. Wildlife is a public resource

3. Only landowners can hunt

4. Wildlife should be managed for scientific purposes only

The correct answer is: Wildlife is a public resource

One of the principles of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation is that wildlife is a public resource. This means that animals and their habitats belong to everyone and not just private individuals or organizations. This principle promotes the idea of conservation and responsible management of wildlife for future generations. Option A is incorrect because the buying and selling of wildlife is not allowed under this model. Option C is also incorrect as it goes against the principle of public ownership and access to wildlife. Option D is incorrect because the North American Model promotes sustainable use and management of wildlife for multiple purposes, including hunting and scientific research.
