Answer 1

The correct response is: metals/minerals are limited and difficult to mine.

Recycling and reusing metals and minerals are important because these resources are finite and their extraction process can have significant environmental impacts. By recycling, we can conserve resources, reduce pollution, and lower energy consumption associated with mining and processing new materials.
