  2. Scoping, a required early EIA step
  3. Salami slicing, an abuse that courts have rejected

Answer and working

C. Salami slicing, an abuse that courts have rejected

Splitting a project to evade thresholds is salami slicing; authorities and courts treat linked parts as one project. Tiering links SEA and EIA levels; scoping and offsetting are legitimate steps.
