Question 1 of 30
\"CleanRide Mobility,\" a company developing electric scooters, is conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to compare the environmental impacts of their scooters with traditional gasoline-powered scooters. The LCA team, led by environmental engineer Mr. Ethan Carter, is debating the appropriate functional unit for the study. Some team members suggest using \"one scooter\" as the functional unit, while others argue that this does not adequately account for the different lifespans and performance characteristics of the two types of scooters. Considering the principles of LCA and the importance of selecting an appropriate functional unit, what would be a more suitable functional unit for CleanRide Mobility\'s LCA study to enable a fair comparison of electric and gasoline-powered scooters?
"One scooter," as this is the simplest and most straightforward option.
"Providing 10,000 kilometers of personal transportation," as this accounts for the different lifespans and usage patterns of the scooters.
"The total number of scooters sold over a one-year period," as this reflects the market share of each type of scooter.
"The cost of purchasing one scooter," as this is the most important factor for consumers.
