What belief system saw all of creation as a continuum with man at the top of the animal world?
a. reasoned order of creation
b. grand scheme of design
c. great chain of being

the answer to fill in the blank in this question would be the word resource, it is defined as the money, material or people (since human resource is a very valuable good) that a company or a person has at disposition (meaning they can use the resource as they see fit), to be able to complete a task or achieve a goal.
