Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
The correct option is C (c) Only 3
Copper is found in the form of pure metal and also in form of compound. This is very useful metal having characteristics like malleability and ductility along with corrosion resistant. So statement 1 is not correct.
China stands on second place after Chile and Peru stands on third in copper production, in the world. Hence statements 2 is not correct.
Largest reserves of copper are in Chile, Australia, Peru and Mexico respectively in the world. Therefore statements 3 is correct.
