Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key concept in the question: 'humans interacting with their environment.' This refers to actions where humans directly engage with or modify their surroundings, such as natural or built environments.
Analyze each option provided: (1) Reading a biology textbook involves gaining knowledge but does not involve direct interaction with the environment. (2) Planting trees in a city park involves modifying the environment by adding vegetation, which is a direct interaction. (3) Listening to music indoors is an indoor activity that does not involve the environment. (4) Observing stars through a telescope involves looking at the environment but does not involve modifying or directly interacting with it.
Determine which option best fits the definition of interacting with the environment. Planting trees in a city park involves a direct and active engagement with the environment, making it the best example.
Understand why the other options are not correct: Reading, listening to music, and observing stars are passive activities that do not involve altering or directly engaging with the environment.
Conclude that the correct answer is 'Planting trees in a city park,' as it demonstrates humans actively interacting with and modifying their environment.
