The industry that is located close to its raw material sources to minimize transportation costs is known as a bulk-reducing industry, which the options provided do not explicitly list. The closest available option is 'Input-oriented industry' (D), although this is not a standard term.
When an industry is located near its necessary supplies or raw material sources in order to minimize transportation costs, it is known as a bulk-reducing industry. This term is not listed among the options provided, but the concept described matches what is commonly understood as a bulk-reducing industry in geographical and economic studies. The industry seeks to reduce costs by situating production processes close to the source of raw materials when the end product is less bulky or less costly to transport than the inputs.
Examples of bulk-reducing industries include those involved in lumber milling and metal smelting, where the raw material orientation is key. On the other hand, bulk-gaining industries like the beverage industry, which becomes heavier and more expensive to transport after production, often have a market orientation.
Resource-centric industry and input-oriented industry are terms that could conceptually match this idea, yet they are not standard terms in geography or economics. Therefore, the correct answer to the question posed would be Input-oriented industry (D), which aligns most closely with the concept of a bulk-reducing industry. However, it's important for students to know that the specific terminology used can vary and they should refer to the terminology that is used in their academic resources.
