Which of the following statements best describes the likely spread of this environmental practice? Options: This practice will likely spread via hierarchical diffusion when the president of the United States signs an executive order banning plastic straws in all states. This practice will likely spread via social media and stimulus diffusion when other states enact identical laws banning plastic straws. As regional news organizations report on the ban, this practice will likely spread through contagious diffusion only to western states adjacent to California. Strong lobbying by the plastics industry will likely curtail the diffusion of the ban, and this practice will be limited to California. Similar environmental laws will likely spread through stimulus diffusion to other states via political activism.
