Question

- B. By enabling agricultural production and industry.
- C. By being a non-renewable resource.
- D. By having no role in economic activities.
Answer
The correct answer is By enabling agricultural production and industry..
Explanation
The correct option is By enabling agricultural production and industry.. By enabling agricultural production and industry. 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.
