What directly benefits human society among the resource categories?

Living Resources
Social Resources
Water Resources
Natural and Beneficial Functions

The correct answer is: Social Resources

Social Resources directly benefit human society among the resource categories. While the other options may have some indirect benefits for humans, social resources are specifically designed to improve the quality of life for humans. Living resources primarily refer to plants and animals, which can provide food and other materials, but do not necessarily directly benefit human society. Water resources are essential for life, but primarily benefit humans by supporting living resources such as plants and animals. Natural and beneficial functions refer to ecosystem processes, which are important for supporting life, but may not always directly benefit human society. In contrast, social resources include things like education, healthcare, and public safety, which have direct and immediate benefits for human well-being and society as a whole.
