Solution

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