Answer 1

Answer: (E)

All of the above

The environment consists of the air, water, land, and all the conditions that surround living organisms. It is important to note that all the systems in the environment are interrelated such as the interactions of animals and humans on the ecosystems. Environmental functions refer to environmental services, including spatial functions, waste disposal, natural resource supply and life support.

The environment is an important issue even when society is faced with economic crises, wars, and unending social problems. It matters because Earth is the only home that humans have, and it provides air, food, and other needs.
