16. Our oceans offer a variety of renewable and nonrenewable resources that we use for various purposes. One such resource is sea salt. Sea salt can be extracted from the ocean through a process called desalination. While this process helps provide an important resources (such as salt and clean water) to human populations, the process of desalination can be costly, and removing large amounts of salt from the Ocean can affect the pH of aquatic environments. Which statement best classifies sea salt and describes its costs and benefits?
A. Sea salt is a renewable resource that is readily available, but production is not cost effective.
B. Salt is a renewable resource that is processed with little energy input, but harvesting the salt disrupts coastal ecosystems.
C. Sea salt is a nonrenewable resource that requires no processing, but at current rates, it will eventually become unsustainable.
D. Sea salt is a nonrenewable resource that has a wide variety of uses, but harvesting from the ocean can disrupt coastal ecosystems.
