Solution

The correct option is D

Non - renewable


Answer: (d) Non – renewable

Iron is a non-renewable type of resource. Iron ore is a natural resource which is discovered in limited quantities on our planet. It’s used up quicker than it can be formed by the natural process. Hence, it is a non-renewable resource.

Minerals can be identified on the basis of their physical properties such as colour, density, hardness and chemical properties such as solubility.

  • Minerals are naturally occurring substances that have definite chemical compositions.
  • They are formed in different types of geological environments, under varying conditions.
  • Minerals are non-renewable resources.
