question 3 of 10
advances that have enabled us to populate the earth have also strained the
planets:
a. natural environment.
b. functional environment.
c. economic environment.

Explanation:

Advances enabling human population growth (e.g., industrialization, agriculture tech) often lead to resource depletion, pollution, and habitat destruction—straining the natural environment directly. Other options (functional, economic, political) are not the primary strained aspect here.

A. natural environment.
