Practice questions

Q1Consider the following statements about critical-mineral supply chains: 1. Cobalt mining is concentrated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, whereas cobalt refining is more China-centred. 2. A single universal list of critical minerals applies to every country. 3. Strategic stockpiling can replace long-term mining, recycling, substitution and diversified trade. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A 1 only

B 1 and 2 only

C 2 and 3 only

D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Only statement 1 is correct: the geography of cobalt mining differs from that of refining. Criticality combines economic importance with country-specific supply risk, so national lists can differ. Stockpiles cushion short-term disruption but do not replace diversified long-term supply measures.
