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

Environment is complex

Environmental Studies draws on knowledge from biology, chemistry, physics, geography, sociology, and economics because the environment itself is not a single, simple system.

The natural and human-made surroundings involve interacting living organisms, physical processes, resources, and social systems, making the environment inherently complex.

Since no single discipline can explain this complexity on its own, Environmental Studies is regarded as an interdisciplinary field.
