Answer:

d.Consistent color

f.Organic

Explanation:

A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic element or compound having an orderly internal  structure and a definite chemical composition, crystal form, and physical properties.

Minerals are naturally occuring substances. This implies that they are not synthetic materials that are manufactured in the laboratory.

They are also inorganic element or compound that are not formed through biological processes in living organisms.

The structures of minerals are ordered and internally well arranged.

Compositions of minerals are usually definte but can vary over a narrow range.

Minerals are solids.
