What does the livelihood capitals approach emphasise in handicrafts?

Correct answer: On combined use of human, social, natural, financial and physical resources

The direct answer is A: the livelihood capitals approach emphasises the combined use of human, social, natural, financial and physical resources. Livelihood means the way people earn a living and maintain life. It is not produced by money alone. A craftsperson needs skills and health, support from family or a cooperative, natural materials, money for tools and transport, and physical facilities such as a workplace and equipment. These resources work together: skill makes the product, materials allow production, finance supports buying and selling, and social links may provide knowledge or markets. Option A is correct because it includes all these connected forms of capital. B is wrong because cash income is only one part. C is wrong because shop decoration cannot create a livelihood by itself. D is wrong because product weight does not show skills, market access, resources or income. Memory cue: livelihood is multi-dimensional, so remember “people, relationships, nature, money and things.”
