Answer 1

The correct option is B Distance of the mine should be away from the markets.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The minerals are found in India abundantly but it is not possible to mine all of them for our use. There are a number of factors which need to be considered before converting a mineral deposit or reserve into a mine. Concentration of minerals in the ore, ease of extraction of minerals, close distance of the mine to the market or an industry and economic viability of a reserve are among them.
