Which one of the following is a leading producer of copper in the world?
A. Bolivia
B. Ghana
C. Chile
D. Zimbabwe

Hint:Only one of these countries is a leading producer of copper along with Peru and China.
Copper mines are mostly found in places where there are abundant natural resources or coastal areas.

Complete answer:
Chile is the largest producer of copper in the world, followed by China and Peru.
Chile produces 5,750,000 tonnes of copper per year.
The top copper producers include the Chilean Codelco, BHP Company, Glencore, Anglo-American and Antofagasta.
The top copper mines in Chile include:-
Chuquicamata:- the second deepest and one of the largest open-pit mines in the world, owned by Codelco
Escondida (owned by BHP Group, Rio Tinto and Japan Escondida)
El Teniente (operated by Codelco and the largest underground mine in the world)
Now lets see our options :-
Bolivia- produces 5.2 thousand metric tons which is less than chile thus this option is wrong.
Ghana- produces far less than chile thus this is wrong option too
Chile- Chile is the largest producer of copper thus this is the right option.
Zimbabwe- produces 6.3 thousand metric tons which is less than chile thus this option is wrong .

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Note:The typical home includes 400 pounds of copper used for electrical wiring, pipes and appliances. The average car is 50 pounds of copper.
Copper is 100 percent recyclable and almost 80 percent of the processed copper is still in use today. Without any modifications to its properties, copper can continue to be recycled. It actually retains 95% of its original value.
