Which scenario would require the largest use of natural resources?

1-building stone structures for housing

2-fishers fishing for dinner each night

3-nomadic tribes following animals to hunt for food

4-creating grazing land and pastures

Option (1)

Explanation:

The building stones are currently one of the most necessary materials that are required primarily for the construction of houses and other buildings. These materials are derived from the rocks that are present at or below the surface. These are the economic minerals that are commonly used and are extracted by mining and these mining processes are very costly. For example, the rocks such as limestones, chalks, marl are used in association with slate, shale to manufacture cement.

So, a large amount of natural resources is used up in making these stones that are used for construction purposes.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

I think the answer would be number 1: - Building stone structures for housing.
