Mineral refers to the substance naturally formed in the environment.

They usually have homogenous with a definite however not fixed chemical composition.

They are solid and inorganic in nature.

They are required by our body in a trace amounts in order to maintain normal physiology of the body.

Hence, all options are correct except organic.
