Detailed Solution

The individual resource is not a classification of resources based on the development status. Resources can be classified into three based on the status of development - Potential resources, developed resources, and stock. Potential resources are found in a specific region but have not been utilised yet. Parts such as Rajasthan and Gujarat are highly suitable for wind and solar energy but, till now, have not been developed properly. Developed resources are surveyed with a determined quality and quantity for utilisation but can be harnessed based on technology and their feasibility level. Stocks are materials in the environment with the potential to satisfy human needs, but till now, no appropriate technology has been developed to harness them. Individual resources are resources classified based on ownership.
