• C. The natural flora of our environment
• D. The natural wild life of our region

Answer 1

The correct option is B The natural balance of our environment

The environment is our surrounding. This includes living and non-living things around us. The non-living components of the environment are land, water and air. The living components are plants and animals. All plants and animals adjust to the environment in which they are born and live. A change in any component of the environment may cause discomfort and affect normal life. Any unfavourable change or degradation in the environment is known as environmental pollution. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
