Question

question 9 of 10 which statement about natural resources is true? a. some societies find natural resources important, while others no need for them. b. while all societies use natural resources, they do not use them the same way. c. all societies have the same natural resources available to them d. societies have found alternatives for them, so natural resources have lost all their importance.

Explanation:

• Option A: All societies need natural resources for survival and development (e.g., food, water), so this option is incorrect.
• Option B: Different societies have different cultures, technologies, and needs. For example, some societies may rely more on fishing (using water and fish resources) for food, while others may rely on agriculture (using soil and water resources). So, they use natural resources differently. This option is correct.
• Option C: Natural resources are distributed unevenly around the world. Some regions have abundant oil, while others have more forest resources. So, not all societies have the same natural resources available. This option is incorrect.
• Option D: Although there are some alternative materials or energy sources, natural resources still play a crucial role in most aspects of society (e.g., minerals for construction, water for daily life). They have not lost all their importance. This option is incorrect.

Answer:

B. While all societies use natural resources, they do not use them the same way.
