Correct Answer:

They use locally available raw materials.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → They use locally available raw materials.

Technopolies are centers of high-tech industries that rely on cutting-edge technology, highly skilled labor, and global networks. They are often self-sustained and promote innovation, but they do not depend on locally available raw materials, as their production is based more on knowledge, research, and advanced technology rather than raw inputs.

"High-tech industries which are regionally concentrated, self-sustained and highly specialised are called technopolies. The Silicon Valley near San Francisco and Silicon Forest near Seattle are examples of technopolies. "
