Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the four main factors of production: land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Each factor represents a different type of resource used in production.
Identify 'land' as natural resources provided by nature, such as crude oil and biomass, which are not created by humans but extracted or harvested.
Recognize 'capital' as man-made resources used to produce goods and services. This includes physical tools, machinery, buildings, and equipment.
Analyze the options: crude oil and biomass are natural resources (land), tools are man-made objects used in production (capital), and land itself is a natural resource.
Conclude that 'tools' fit the definition of a man-made resource (capital) in the factors of production.
