Question

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

Explanation:

The environment consists of both biotic (living) components like plants, animals, and abiotic (non - living) components like air, water, soil. It also has natural and some artificial elements, but the key is the co - existence of living and non - living things. The option "only artificial things" is wrong as there are natural elements. "Nonliving things only" and "living things only" are also wrong as both exist. So the correct option is the green one with "both living and nonliving things".

Answer:

The correct option is the green - colored option: both living and nonliving things
