delay
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The passage describes student demands for "concrete action" on environmental issues. "Strengthen" means to make more robust, fitting a response to calls for greater commitment.
Choice A is incorrect because "abandon" contradicts responding to demands. Choice B is incorrect because "ignore" contradicts taking action. Choice D is incorrect because "delay" contradicts responding to demands.
