Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The environment, in its natural state, sustains life by providing resources, absorbing waste, and maintaining ecological balance. However, it is not correct to say that the environment itself deteriorates the quality of life. In fact, human activities such as pollution and deforestation can lead to environmental degradation, which in turn harms the quality of life.
