Answer 2

Answer:

Assertion is incorrect while reason is correct. So option D is right.

Explanation:

Forest, wildlife and minerals present on the earth surface are limited in quantity. They are exploited by human beings for different purposes. Forest products are utilised for fuel, fodder, industries, medicinal purpose,etc. Minerals are mined from the ore and after processing in industries they are used for manufacturing a variety of products.

These substances are not unlimited. Blatant exploitation of these resources will rapidally make them exhaustible. Those resources which are present in unlimited amount and are not likely to get exhausted by human exploitation are inexhaustible resources. For example- Air, sunlight , water etc.

So Assertion is incorrect and reason is correct.
