Got it right on edge

Based on the scenario, the most likely outcome according to the concept of social traps is the fishermen will begin to fish more often, depleting the local fish supply. The correct option is A.

A phenomenon known as "social traps" in social psychology refers to a circumstance in which a single person or group of individuals act or operate for short-term reinforcement or gains, but have a propensity to over-exploit a resource, ultimately resulting in a loss for the group as a whole and to society.

This is because the fishermen are likely to engage in a competition trap, where they will compete with each other to catch as many fish as possible, in fear that there will not be enough fish left for them. As a result, they will over-fish the area, leading to a depletion of the local fish supply. The lack of communication among the fishermen may exacerbate this problem.

Thus, the ideal selection is option A.
