What includes the fertile environment for vegetation among floodplain functions?

  1. Water Resources

  2. Living Resources

  3. Natural and Beneficial Functions

  4. Social Resources

The correct answer is: Natural and Beneficial Functions

Natural and Beneficial Functions include the fertile environment for vegetation among floodplain functions. This option refers to the ecological functions of floodplains, such as providing nutrient-rich soil for plants to grow, which ultimately supports the growth and diversity of vegetation. This makes options A, B, and D incorrect as they do not specifically mention the function of floodplains in promoting vegetation growth. Option A refers to water resources, which can be found in floodplains but does not necessarily support vegetation growth. Option B mentions living resources, which may include plants, but does not specifically refer to the functions of floodplains. Option D refers to social resources, which are not directly related to the ecological functions of floodplains.
