The protection and preservation of ecosystems and __________ is essential for maintaining biodiversity and climate regulation.

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Natural resources

Ecosystems depend on a continuous supply of natural resources such as water, soil, forests, and clean air to function and support life.

Protecting natural resources alongside ecosystems ensures that the raw materials species rely on remain available, which keeps biodiversity intact.

Industrial machinery, political boundaries, and urban infrastructure are human-made or administrative features that do not directly sustain ecological processes or climate regulation.

Since biodiversity and climate regulation depend on healthy ecosystems and the natural resources within them, natural resources correctly completes the statement.
