The correct answer is option 2- General force.

A recent cut in the interest on loans announced by the SBIM Bank - Economic environment

Develop cars to be powered by fuel produced from garbage- Technological environment

Both Economic environment & Technological environment are general forces.

Business environment includes both specific and general forces.
Specific forces (such as investors, customers, competitors and suppliers) affect individual enterprises directly and immediately in their day-to-day working.
General forces (such as economic, social, political, legal and technological conditions) have impact on all business enterprises and thus may affect an individual firm only indirectly.
