  1. Environmental Defense Fund

  2. Sierra Club

  3. Conservation International

  4. Friends of the Earth

The correct answer is: Environmental Defense Fund

Option B Sierra Club focuses primarily on grassroots activism and policy advocacy, rather than direct partnerships with corporations. Option C: Conservation International focuses on preserving biodiversity and promoting sustainable development, but does not primarily work with corporations. Option D: Friends of the Earth focuses on grassroots organizing and advocacy, rather than partnerships with corporations. Overall, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) is known for their unique model of engaging directly with corporations to address environmental concerns. They have a long history of working with businesses to find mutually beneficial solutions that also benefit the environment. EDF's partnership with FedEx for the deployment of hybrid vehicles is just one example of their successful approach. Other NGOs, such as Sierra Club, Conservation International, and Friends of the Earth, have different focus areas and methods of addressing environmental issues. Therefore, A is the most suitable answer in this case.
