Answer 1

The correct option is C Stocks

Materials in the environment which have the potential to satisfy human needs but do not have the appropriate technology to access them efficiently are called stocks.

Resources which are quantified and utilised are called as developed resources. Resources that are not completely utilised, despite the availability of technology are potential resources and resources with available technology but reserved for future use are called as reserves.
