Question

विकल्प

• Collective wants

• Necessaries

• Comforts

• Luxuries

Answer 1

Clothes, food and shelter are examples of necessaries.

Explanation:

Because they are basic essentials required for human survival and well-being.

These are the minimum items that satisfy fundamental human needs. 

They are neither luxuries nor comforts, but essential for living a decent life.

• Collective wants refer to wants shared by a large group or society e.g., public parks, roads.
• Comforts are things that make life easier or more pleasant, beyond basic necessities.
• Luxuries are non-essential items that provide pleasure and status.

Thus, clothes, food and shelter fall under necessaries as they fulfill fundamental human needs for survival and health.
