Canada has valuable minerals and resources like gold and nickel, but mining can harm the environment. Which phrase describes this activity in Canada?

• A. Mining in Canada
• B. Agriculture in Canada
• C. Forestry in Canada
• D. Pollution in Waterways

Answer: (A)

The situation describes the activity of extracting minerals from the earth, which is mining. Mining in Canada captures both the resource extraction itself and the idea that it brings valuable minerals like gold and nickel, along with potential environmental harm. The other options don’t fit because farming (agriculture) deals with growing crops and raising animals, forestry covers timber harvesting, and pollution in waterways refers to the result or impact rather than the activity of extracting minerals.
