The tangible, external surroundings and conditions in which something exists can be defined as

  1. Physical Reality

  2. Physical Environment

  3. Environmental Perspective

  4. Property Location

The correct answer is: Physical Environment

The term "Physical Environment" is used to describe the tangible, external surroundings and conditions in which something exists. This includes not only the natural world, such as landforms, weather, and vegetation, but also human-made constructs like buildings, roads, and other forms of infrastructure. It involves anything that can be touched, seen, smelled or generally perceived with the senses. Therefore, this is why it's the best answer for the given definition. Other options relate to broader or different aspects and not specifically to the tangible external surroundings and conditions as required by the question.
