MCQ

Solution

All of the above

Explanation:

The following four dynamic functions are performed by the environment:

  1. Offer Production Resources:
    Minerals, water, and soil are just a few of the tangible resources provided by the environment. Nature has bestowed these gifts on us. These materials are used as inputs in the conversion of natural resources into usable and productive products. In other words, the environment provides input for manufacturing that improves the quality of human life.
  2. Sustains Life:
    The environment gives us essential materials such as sun, soil, water, and air, which are required for life to survive. The absence of these vital components denotes the absence of life. It encourages biodiversity.
  3. Assimilates Waste:
    Waste is generated by the processes of production and consumption. This waste, in the form of garbage, is instantly absorbed by the environment.
  4. Enhances Quality of Life:
    Rivers, oceans, mountains, and deserts are all part of the environment. It contributes to the quality of human life by providing scenic beauty that man admires in life.
