To survive, every animal needs a proper arrangement of food, water, cover, and space. These items make up the animal's:

• A. Habitat
• B. Territory
• C. Population
• D. Biome

Answer: (A)

Food, water, cover, and space describe an animal's habitat. The habitat is the living environment that provides the necessary resources and conditions for an animal to survive and thrive. Food supplies energy, water keeps the body hydrated, cover offers protection and shelter, and space gives room to move, feed, and reproduce.

Territory refers to an area an animal defends, which may overlap with its habitat but isn’t the overall environment defined by essential resources. Population means the number of individuals in a group, not the living environment. A biome is a broad, large-scale type of environment (like forest or desert), which is a wide category and doesn’t describe the specific resources an individual animal uses in its daily life.
