Final answer:
Afghanistan adapts to and benefits from the discovery of previously unknown resources is not relevant to the five newly independent states in Central Asia.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that is incorrect about the five newly independent states in Central Asia is that Afghanistan adapts to and benefits from the discovery of previously unknown resources.
Since this statement is not relevant to the five countries of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan, it is incorrect. In fact, Afghanistan is a separate country and is not part of the five newly independent states in Central Asia. Additionally, the other statements provided in the reference materials do not mention anything about Afghanistan's adaptation to and benefit from the discovery of resources.
