The correct option is D All of the above

Human being is a social animal. A person connects with other person in order to socialize and also to fulfill its needs. The group of people in which he connects is known as community. Thus, a community is a group of individuals in a particular region having common beliefs and having certain common interests or concerns. So, the importance of community can be drawn from the explanation above i.e:

1) A community provides protection and shelter to us, as the people are closely connected to each other and mostly share a common belief. A community is life and a home for an individual is in it. This feeling of association, togetherness, cooperation, harmony and friendship provides a sense of security in an individual.

2) A community fulfills our needs of food, clothing, housing and education etc. We need each other to fulfill our needs. Thus, the division of work in a community satisfies the need of ours.

3) It enables us to exchange our ideas and knowledge with others and thus further develop culture and civilization. Community being a group of individuals enables a flow of diverse information from among its group.
