Several of the most important nonfuel mineral resources
 
  a. are in danger of imminent depletion, and it is therefore important that substitutes
  be found in the immediate near-term future.
  b. are produced in few locations, and this has given rise to some fear that mineral
  resource cartels modeled after OPEC will be formed to control mineral production
  and prices.
  c. have become extremely expensive in the 1990s, leading to fears that a resourceinduced
  economic collapse will take place later this decade.
  d. are produced only in Russia. Thus, if communists return to power there, they
  could still hurt the West economically by stopping mineral exports.

  food distribution have been solved.
  c. Food production has grown more rapidly than population, and distribution
