Which of the following pairs correctly identifies a terrestrial environment and an aquatic environment, respectively?

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

Forest and Ocean

A terrestrial environment is a land-based habitat, such as a forest, grassland, or desert, while an aquatic environment is a water-based habitat, such as an ocean, river, lake, or pond.

The pair 'Forest and Ocean' correctly represents a terrestrial environment (forest) followed by an aquatic environment (ocean), matching the order asked in the question.

Lake and River are both aquatic, Pond and Grassland reverse the required order (aquatic then terrestrial), and River and Desert also reverse the order (aquatic then terrestrial), so none of these fit the terrestrial-then-aquatic sequence correctly.

Therefore, the correct answer is Forest and Ocean.
