The Correct Answer is: d) Argentina, Bolivia, Chile
Explanation: The Lithium Triangle is a region of the Andes rich in lithium reserves around the borders of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. The lithium in the triangle is concentrated in various salt pans that exist along the Atacama Desert and neighbouring arid areas. The Lithium Triangle is one of the driest places on earth, which complicates the process of lithium extraction.
Lithium, which powers our phones, laptops, and electric cars, is essential to our battery-driven world.
Significance: Demand for lithium is expected to more than double by 2024, as the production of electric vehicle (EV) batteries is set for substantial growth, says data and analytics company GlobalData.
