Solution

The correct option is B Environment friendly
The environmental impact of mining includes erosion, loss of biodiversity, and contamination of soil, groundwater and surface water.
Mining causes pollution because of the large amount of chemicals which are discarded from every tonne of the metal extracted. Hence, mining is not environment friendly.
