done

Explanation:

To determine the natural elements explained by a creation myth, we analyze each option:

• "The ocean" is a natural element (body of water in nature).
• "Land" is a natural element (terrestrial surface, part of Earth's natural structure).
• "The universe" is a natural element (encompasses all natural cosmic components).
• "Crops" are related to agriculture and are a product of human cultivation of natural plant life, but more as a cultivated resource rather than a primary natural element in the context of creation myths' focus on fundamental natural entities.
• "People" are living beings, but creation myths often explain the origin of natural elements (like ocean, land, universe) before or along with human origin, and "people" are more of a living creature category than a natural element in the same sense as the first three. So the natural elements here are the ocean, land, and the universe.

Answer:

the ocean, land, the universe
