Answer 1

The correct option is C Using the resources faster than the rate of replenishment.

Resource planning is a complex process which involves three main steps. The first step is the identification and inventory of resources across the regions of the country. Evolving a planned structure endowed with appropriate technology, skill and institutional set up for implementing resource development plans. Lastly, matching the resource development plans with overall national development plans.

Furthermore, resource planning should avoid exhausting resources by consuming resources at a lesser rate than the rate of replenishment.
