Cement industry is an example of which of the following Industry?

Mineral Based

The correct answer is Option 1: Mineral Based

Mineral-Based Industries: These industries use both metallic and non-metallic minerals as their primary raw materials to manufacture finished goods. The cement industry relies heavily on bulky, heavy mineral inputs extracted from the earth—principally limestone ($CaCO_3$), along with silica, alumina, gypsum, and coal. Because its entire manufacturing process is driven by mineral extraction and processing, it is classified fundamentally as a mineral-based industry.
