Alexander: The chemical waste dump outside our town should be cleaned up immediately. Admittedly, it will be very costly to convert that site into woodland, but we have a pressing obligation to redress the harm we have done to local forests and wildlife.
Teresa: But our town’s first priority is the health of its people. So even if putting the dump there was environmentally disastrous, we should not spend our resources on correcting it unless it presents a significant health to people. If it does, then we only need to remove that hazard.
Teresa’s statement most closely conforms to which one of the following principles?
(A) Environmental destruction should be redressed only if it is in the economic interest of the community to do so.
(B) Resources should be allocated only to satisfy goals that have the highest priority.
(C) No expense should be spared in protecting the community’s health.
(D) Environmental hazards that pose slight health risks to people should be rectified if the technology is available to do so.
(E) It is the community as a whole that should evaluate the importance of eliminating various perceived threats to public health.

I would go with B.
Alexander argues that we have an obligation towards cleaning the mess created
In response Teresa says our priority is health and thus we should not spend resources on cleaning the mess unless it affects the health (the priority of the community)
A and C talks about the financial aspects that Teresa doesn't talk about
D talks about technology that Teresa doesn't mention
E talks about the importance that community should hold - again not something Teresa mentions
Answer - B
