Simple Explanation
Mineral deposits potential opportunity प्रदान करते हैं, लेकिन यदि extraction अत्यधिक महंगी हो तो mining commercially viable नहीं हो सकती। इससे investment, employment, transport और worker settlements का development सीमित रह सकता है। इसलिए दूसरा विकल्प सही है। परीक्षा में resource availability और effective resource use के बीच distinction समझना जरूरी है, क्योंकि हर resource-rich area high population concentration विकसित नहीं करता। / Mineral deposits provide potential economic opportunity, but if extraction is extremely costly, mining may not be commercially viable. Investment, employment, transport, and worker settlements may therefore remain limited. The second option is correct. In examinations, distinguish between resource availability and effective resource use because not every resource-rich area develops a high population concentration.
