which of the following are substances and energy sources taken from our environment that we rely on to survive?
○ earth services
○ ecosystem services
○ natural resources
○ biocapacity

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Earth services: Not a term for substances/energy from the environment for survival.
• Ecosystem services: These are benefits (like pollination, water purification) from ecosystems, not the substances/energy we take.
• Natural resources: Defined as substances (e.g., water, minerals) and energy sources (e.g., sunlight, fossil fuels) from the environment that support survival.
• Biocapacity: Refers to an area's capacity to generate resources, not the resources themselves.

So the correct option is the one that matches the definition of substances and energy from the environment for survival.

Answer:

C. Natural resources
