Question

a resource has value, and people are willing to pay for it most likely because the resource is renewable inexpensive abundant scarce

Explanation:

In economics (a subfield of Business), the value of a resource and people's willingness to pay for it is often related to scarcity. Renewable resources may or may not be valuable (e.g., air is renewable but not paid for in the same way), inexpensive resources don't necessarily have value (if they are abundant and not needed), and abundant resources are usually not highly valued as they are easily available. Scarce resources, however, have value because their limited availability makes people willing to pay to obtain them.

Answer:

D. scarce
