Answer: C. Because it can be used to make goods

Explanation: Sand can be found, except on the beach, in river beds, in the desert, etc. Sand is considered a resource because it is used in the glass industry, then for insulation, for different processing of materials with the help of sand, for making different products of sand, etc. In addition, sand is a renewable resource, which means that a constant amount of sand is produced naturally through various erosive and other processes in nature. It is estimated that more sand is produced annually than is used for a variety of purposes as a material for the production of goods.
