Solution

The correct option is B Jool
There are a number of factors which need to be decided before converting a mineral ‘deposit’ or ‘reserve’ into a mine. The factors are:
1. Concentration of minerals in the ore
2. Ease of extraction of minerals.
3. Whether the mine is closer to the market or an industry
4. The economic viability of a reserve.

Laythe is located far from the city and borders a forest, while Jool is situated near the city. Jool would be a better place to mine the bauxite.
