The correct answer to the question "How many federal agencies are responsible for managing land resources in the United States?" is 2.
Explanation:
1. The two main federal agencies responsible for managing land resources in the United States are:
- The United States Forest Service (USFS): It falls under the Department of Agriculture and manages national forests and grasslands.
- The Bureau of Land Management (BLM): It is part of the Department of the Interior and oversees public lands, including deserts, forests, and grasslands.
These agencies play crucial roles in conserving and protecting natural resources, wildlife habitats, and recreational opportunities on federal lands across the country. While there are other federal agencies with specific land management responsibilities, the USFS and BLM are the primary agencies dedicated to this task.
