Answer 1

D) products, such as cans and glass bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solid substances that have more or less chemical composition and characteristic physical properties. Minerals are used for many purposes. Minerals (such as aluminum and boron) are used by industries to produce products such as cans and glass bottles. Minerals are also used in the construction/ building of houses and other buildings. Limestone, shale and gypsum are used to produce cement. Minerals such as diamond, pearls, and ruby are also used to make jewelry such as rings but an industrial society would MOST LIKELY use minerals to make products such as cans.
