Land as Natural Resources in Economics

Steps:

• Recall factors of production: land (natural resources), labor (human effort), capital (tools/money), entrepreneurship.
• Define land specifically as raw materials from nature, like minerals or oil deposits.
• Match options to definitions: evaluate which involves untouched natural elements.
• Confirm A fits land, while others align with capital or labor.

Why A is correct:

Why the others are wrong:

• B: Oil rig is capital, a human-made tool for production.
• C: Money is financial capital, not a primary factor like land.
• D: Worker productivity relates to labor, human effort in production.

Final answer: A
