C. Resources are anything that humans need to survive, live, and thrive. If they are not distributed equitably, people's lives can become more difficult. Unequal distribution of resources can lead to disparities in access to food, healthcare, education, and other important necessities, resulting in social inequality, poverty, and conflict. It can also hinder economic development and overall well-being of a society.
