Question

question 3/8
what is a social consequence of mining for car battery materials?
a. guaranteed job security for all workers
b. no impact on community health
c. social unrest due to resource conflicts
d. improvement of cultural sites

Explanation:

• Option A is incorrect because mining jobs often lack long-term security, as operations can end when deposits are exhausted or market conditions shift.
• Option B is incorrect because mining frequently harms community health through pollution of air, water, and soil.
• Option C is correct: Competition over limited mining resources, displacement of local communities, and unequal distribution of mining benefits can lead to social unrest and conflicts.
• Option D is incorrect because mining often damages cultural sites through land clearing, excavation, and environmental disruption, rather than improving them.

Answer:

C. Social unrest due to resource conflicts
