Question

Which of the following statements is/are true?

1. Air and water are biotic resources
2. Fossil fuels and minerals are non-renewable resources
3. Cloth is a man-made resource

Select the best option.

Options

• Only I

• Only III

• Only II and III

• Only I and II

Answer 1

Only II and III

Explanation:

• Statement I is false because air and water are abiotic resources, not biotic. Biotic resources come from living organisms, but air and water are non-living and hence abiotic.
• Statement II is true. Fossil fuels and minerals are non-renewable resources because they get exhausted over time and take millions of years to form.
• Statement III is true. Cloth is a man-made resource as it is produced by humans through processing natural fibers or synthetic materials.

Thus, only statements II and III are correct.
