What could be an economic factor that prevents the maximum exploitation of this resource

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

intensive property is the physical property which does not depend on the size of system or amount of material present in system.

for example, color, density, melting point, boiling point etc are all intensive properties.

thus, we can conclude that the boiling point and color of a substance are both examples of intensive properties because they do not depend on the amount of matter in the sample.
