What makes an object or substance a resource ?
Answer: B
What makes something a resource is its utility or usability.
Anything that can be used to satisfy a need becomes a resource, provided it is technologically accessible, economically feasible and culturally acceptable. Utility gives value; for example, a plant is just a plant until people find a use for it as food or medicine.
Purification, extraction and discovery may be steps that make a substance usable, but what makes it a resource is that it has a use. Something discovered but useless would not count as a resource.
