Which term corresponds to the idea that the dependence of two or more people or things on each other?

• A. Interdependence
• B. Integrate evidence
• C. Judicial Branch
• D. Labor

Answer: (B)

Interdependence describes the idea that two or more people or things rely on each other for support, resources, or outcomes. This mutual reliance means that what happens to one part of a system affects the others. For example, in a community economy, shoppers rely on businesses for goods and jobs, while those businesses rely on shoppers to buy their goods. In nature, plants depend on pollinators, and pollinators rely on plants for nectar, creating a connected system where each part affects the others.

Other options don’t fit because one refers to bringing evidence together in analysis, not mutual reliance; another names a branch of government that interprets laws; and the last means work or the workforce, not the relationship of mutual dependence.
