Explanation :

The given picture shows a plastic bottle and a block made of concrete.

Minerals are the naturally occurring substance. All minerals have a specific chemical formula.

So, the statement that is correct about the plastic and the concrete is :

Both plastic and concrete are not minerals. This is because they are made by humans.

Plastics are produced by a process of polymerization or polycondensation process and cement is produced by mixing water, aggregate, and cement, etc.

Hence, the correct option is (b).

Mineral is an inorganic solid, characterized with a definite chemical composition and ordered internal structure.
Both plastic and concrete are not minerals because they are made by humans. They are not naturally occurring materials, which the minerals are.
