    Correct Answer
    A. Watershed
    Explanation
    A watershed refers to an area of land that is characterized by its topography and drains water into a specific stream and its tributaries. It acts as a natural boundary, collecting rainfall and runoff, which then flows into a common outlet such as a river or lake. Watersheds are essential for managing water resources and understanding the movement of water within a particular geographical area. They play a crucial role in maintaining the health and quality of the water bodies they drain into.

    Watershed houses _________ except

    • Forest

    • Grassland

    • Marshes

    • Robots

    Correct Answer
    A. Robots
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "robots" because a watershed is an area of land where all the water drains into a common point, such as a river or lake. It is responsible for collecting and channeling water resources, which are essential for the survival of various ecosystems. Forests, grasslands, and marshes are examples of natural habitats that can be found within a watershed, as they play a crucial role in maintaining water quality and regulating the water cycle. However, robots are not a natural component of a watershed ecosystem and do not contribute to its ecological functions.
