Question

B. It is a primary source of energy for machines.
C. It is the only resource that can be traded.
D. It has no impact on social structures.

Answer

The correct answer is It provides essential nutrients for health..

Explanation

The correct option is It provides essential nutrients for health.. It provides essential nutrients for health. is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain the significance of food, water and energy to economic and social well-being. This belongs to Resource management within Section C: The challenge of resource management, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Resource management, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.

Common mistake

Misunderstanding Resource Significance

Students often confuse the significance of food, water, and energy, thinking they are equally important in all contexts.

To fix this, students should analyze specific case studies that illustrate how the significance of each resource can vary based on economic and social factors.
