The correct answer to the question is option 3, Japan. This means that Japan is dependent on other countries for the raw materials needed in its Iron-Steel industry. Dependence on others for raw materials suggests that Japan does not have an abundant supply of these raw materials within its own borders.
It is important to note that options 1 (England), 2 (Australia), and 4 (Turkey) are not the correct answer to the question. England and Australia are historically known for having their own rich reserves of iron ore, which makes them less dependent on other countries for raw materials. Turkey, on the other hand, also has domestic sources of iron ore, and although it may import some raw materials, it is not primarily dependent on others for the Iron-Steel industry.
