Explanation:

The tragedy of the commons refers to the situation where individuals, acting independently and rationally according to their own self-interest, behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling a shared resource through their collective action. This often occurs when there is a common pool resource that is non-excludable and rivalrous, meaning that it is difficult to exclude anyone from using it, and one person's use diminishes the quantity or quality available for others
