(C) Colour
Colour is NOT a basis for classifying resources. Resources are classified on the basis of origin, exhaustibility, ownership, and status of development.
The textbook explicitly lists four bases for resource classification: origin, exhaustibility, ownership, and status of development. Colour is used to classify soils (e.g., black soil, red soil), not resources in general. Examiners expect students to recall the four standard bases and identify the odd one out.
