Answer 2

The importance of a natural resource don't reduce.

Because -

• The artificial resource which is replacing that natural resource is also synthesized from another natural resources.

We cannot make any artificial substance independently without any contribution of the natural resources.

• Similarly,the replaced natural resource may be used for making another artificial resource which is replacing maybe other artificial resource.

In this way this cycle goes on.

• For the above mentioned circumstances every natural resources have equal amount of importance in all time untill it gets exhausted completely from our environment.
