Solution

The correct option is D A - Germany
B - Wild plants
Germanium, a rare earth element, was conventionally found in fewer quantities. Extraction of the mineral involved extensive mining and could be done only in small amounts. Professors of botany in Germany formulated a method to extract germanium from wild grasses and plants. This technique reduced the depletion of resources from the Earth. It is essential to discover and utilise new sources of resources to preserve them.
