Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is C

Explanation
Option 1: A are inexhaustible

This option is incorrect because potentially renewable resources can be exhausted if they are overused or mismanaged. Examples include forests, freshwater, and fish populations, which can be depleted if not managed sustainably.

Option 2: B can never be replaced

This option is incorrect because potentially renewable resources can be replaced or replenished naturally over time, provided they are managed properly. For instance, trees can regrow, and fish populations can recover if given time and proper conservation efforts.

Option 3: C can be destroyed if they are mismanaged

This option is correct because potentially renewable resources can indeed be destroyed or depleted if they are not managed sustainably. Overharvesting, pollution, and habitat destruction are examples of mismanagement that can lead to the depletion of these resources.

Option 4: D are not perceived as useful by most societies

This option is incorrect because potentially renewable resources are generally perceived as useful by most societies. They provide essential goods and services, such as food, water, and raw materials, which are crucial for human survival and economic activities.
