Question

1. which are the best solutions for reducing the mining of copper and conserving copper ore? (1 point)

make electrical appliances without wires
stop buying electrical appliances
recycle electronic waste and use aluminum as a substitute
use glass as a substitute

Explanation:

• "Make electrical appliances without wires" is not practical for most appliances and doesn't directly reduce copper mining.
• "Stop buying electrical appliances" is unrealistic and not a feasible long - term solution.
• "Recycle electronic waste" can recover copper from old electronics, reducing the need for new mining. "Use aluminum as a substitute" (in some applications where copper is used, like in electrical conductors in certain cases) can also decrease copper demand.
• "Use glass as a substitute" is not suitable for most applications where copper is used (e.g., electrical conductivity), so it won't help reduce copper mining.

Answer:

C. Recycle electronic waste and use aluminum as a substitute
