Question

the environment contains
only artificial things
both living and nonliving things
nonliving things only
living things only

Explanation:

The environment consists of biotic (living) components like plants, animals, and abiotic (non - living) components like air, water, soil. So it has both living and non - living things. The option "only artificial things" is wrong as the environment has natural elements too. "Nonliving things only" and "living things only" are also wrong as the environment has a combination of both.

Answer:

The correct option is the blue - colored one with the text "both living and nonliving things"
