What is the study of the behavior of individual people in their natural or constructed environments?

Natural Science
Social Science
Social Ecology
Human Ecology

The correct answer is: Human Ecology

Human ecology is the correct answer because it is the branch of science that studies the relationships between humans and their natural and built environments. Natural science deals with the physical world, while social science focuses on the behavior of individuals and societies. Social ecology is a branch of sociology that studies social relationships and interactions. While all of these fields may intersect with human ecology, it is the only one specifically focused on studying individuals in their environments.
