ANS: A
The community’s ability to respond effectively to changing dynamics and meet the needs of its members indicates productive functioning. A community may or may not be able to control environmental pollution because the pollution is often from outside the community itself. Similarly, employment, or lack thereof, may be due to factors outside the community’s control. In many communities, growth is not expected; simply not losing more population is a great achievement.
