Option (C) is correct because the provided context explicitly states that 'Human beings interact with their physical environment with the help of technology.' The text emphasizes that the tools and techniques used for production are extremely important in this interaction. Additionally, the context notes that the level of technological development determines the nature of the relationship; for example, low technology led to 'environmental determinism' where humans were dictated by nature, while better technology allows humans to loosen the 'shackles of environment'.
