Let us first take a look at the meaning of given words:

Safely- without any threat or risk

Humanely- characterized by compassion and sympathy for people and animals, especially for the suffering or distressed

Ruthlessly- without pity or compassion for others

Maliciously- in a manner characterized by malice or ill will

The sentence conveys that humans are carelessly polluting the environment and are being selfish. They are killing the turtles for their benefit and are ‘not showing any compassion’ towards the animal.

Thus, ‘ruthlessly’ is the most suitable word here.

Option 3 is the correct answer.
