Answer 2

Answer:

The Correct Answer would be 4. temperature. Temperature among the following options is not a component of physical environment.

Explanation:

Physical Environment - Physical environment refers to the physical nature or atmosphere that we can easily see, feel as well as touch. Everything that we can touch and see is included in physical environment. This includes water, trees, grass, clouds, mountains, house, furnitures, etc.

Now, we can't touch light but we can see it with the help of some other medium. Hence, it is a component. Similarly, for both water as well as plants, we can see as well as touch them both. For temperature, we can only feel or sense it, but not see or touch it. Hence, it is not a component of physical environment.
