Solution

The correct option is B Robber
  • Mining is called a robber industry because valuable resources are taken from the earth and hence depriving earth from it's own resources
  • .These resources are not formed in a small time instead takes millions of years to replenish.
  • This is because it is using up the earths resources, therefore in a very poetic sense 'robbing' the earth of its natural resources that will not be laid down again, at least not for an extremely long period of time
