Cassette tapes no longer being produced is not an example of resources scarcity.

Resource scarcity refers to when there is a shortage of a certain resource which is necessary for the production of a good or service. In the options given, the instances where there is scarcity are:

  • First option because the scarce resource is petroleum
  • The second option which shows a scarcity of water as a result of droughts
  • The third option where physicians are in short supply which means that they are the scarce resource
  • The fifth option where the scarce resource is a lack on instructional technology.

Cassette tapes no longer being produced is not a result of scarcity but rather because technology has moved on from it and new technologies have led to the development of blue ray disks and flash drives.
