The correct answer is "Jobs to the people specially those in the urban areas." The passage states that the government shall actively encourage, promote, induce, and accelerate industrial, economic, and social development in order to provide jobs, increase productivity and income, and improve living conditions. However, it does not specifically mention providing jobs to people in urban areas. Therefore, this option is the exception among the given choices.

60. The following are parts of the Coastal Zone except one;

Explanation

The foreshore refers to the area of a beach that is exposed during low tide and covered during high tide. It is the region between the high tide mark and the low tide mark. The nearshore refers to the area of the ocean that extends from the low tide mark to where waves break, typically around the depth where a person can still touch the bottom. The backshore refers to the area of the beach that is located landward of the high tide mark and is only affected by waves during storms or high tides. Seagrass beds, on the other hand, are underwater areas composed of dense vegetation that provide important habitats for various marine species. Therefore, the correct answer is "Foreshore" as it is not a part of the Coastal Zone.
