Question

question 3 of 5
which products that humans rely on are made from materials that come from soil?
a. copper wire
b. gasoline
c. antibiotics
d. plastics

Explanation:

Antibiotics are often derived from soil - dwelling microorganisms. Copper wire is made from copper ore (not directly from soil in the sense of biological or organic matter from soil). Gasoline is made from petroleum (fossil fuels, not from soil - based biological sources in the context of this question). Plastics are made from petrochemicals (again, not from soil - based biological starting materials for the main production routes).

Answer:

C. Antibiotics
