Question

the use of which material can substitute for copper and reduce copper mine production? (1 point) ○ gold ○ aluminum ○ glass ○ quartz

Explanation:

Copper is often used for its electrical conductivity. Aluminum also has good electrical conductivity and is used as a substitute for copper in applications like electrical wiring, which would reduce the need for copper mine production. Gold is too expensive for large - scale substitution, glass and quartz are insulators and not suitable for applications where copper's conductivity is needed.

Answer:

B. aluminum
