Question

A. Plastic
B. Wood
C. Synthetic fibers
D. Concrete

Answer

The correct option is Wood. This answer is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to explain that natural resources can be supplemented or replaced by agricultural and synthetic products in the subtopic Using the Earth's resources and sustainable development.

Explanation

The correct option is Wood. Wood is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to explain that natural resources can be supplemented or replaced by agricultural and synthetic products. This belongs to the subtopic Using the Earth's resources and sustainable development within Using the Earth's resources and obtaining potable water, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from Using the Earth's resources and sustainable development.

Common mistake

Confusing Natural and Synthetic Resources

Students often confuse natural resources with synthetic products, thinking they are the same.

To fix this, remember that natural resources are materials obtained from the Earth, while synthetic products are man-made alternatives created through chemical processes.
