Solution

The correct option is B They are finite and non-renewable
  • Minerals are natural resources which are limited.
  • If they are continuously mined and used they will get exhausted.
  • The geological processes of mineral formation are so slow that the rate of replenishment is small in comparison to the present rates of consumption.
