Solution

The correct option is D tribals
Mining can be conducted only in specific areas. Resources are found in forests and other ecosystems that are left undisturbed by mankind. Only Tribals live with nature by leaving an ecosystem undisturbed. So Tribals are most affected due to mining as they are displaced from their resource rich land.
