Solution

The correct option is D They are inexhaustible
An inexhaustible resource is one that is replaceable, while an exhaustible resource is not replaceable.
Minerals are natural resources and they cannot be replaced by man.
Therefore, the constant use of minerals at this rate will lead to their exhaustion. Thus, they are considered as exhaustible natural resources.
