Compared to the process of extracting lithium from mineral deposits, the process of extracting lithium from evaporation ponds requires 1 Response area water, 2 Response area money, 3 and Response area time.

A. the same amount of
B. less
C. more

C. more.

The process of extracting lithium from evaporation ponds typically requires more water, money, and time compared to extracting it from mineral deposits. This is because the concentration of lithium in evaporation ponds is much lower, so it requires a larger volume of water and a longer time for evaporation to occur before the lithium can be extracted. Additionally, constructing and maintaining evaporation ponds can be expensive.
