C. enabling habitation in warmer environments
Air conditioning has facilitated human adaptation to the environment by enabling habitation in warmer environments. Air conditioning systems cool and dehumidify indoor spaces, making them more comfortable to live and work in. This has allowed people to live and work in areas with high temperatures and humidity levels that would otherwise be uncomfortable or even uninhabitable. Air conditioning has also helped to reduce the risk of heat-related illness and improve the overall quality of life in warm environments.
