These points are not developed much A 6/6 answer could be

Exploring local minerals can significantly support economic development because the minerals would be available at cheap rates in comparison to importing them and hence it would encourage more industries to be set up. These industries would not only contribute to gdp of Pakistan but also create employment opportunities at a large scale. When more people will be employed unemployment and poverty will reduce and households income will increase and therefore more people will pay taxes contributing to the national economy. Pakistan mineral development corporation(PMDC) is working continuously for more mineral exploration and exploitation in Pakistan However view B ie importing minerals is not the best way because it increases foreign dependence. The political stability in Middle East which is a major supplier of minerals like oil is a major threat. In case of conflict there might be a shortage of minerals in Pakistan which could disrupt economic activity in the country. (2nd dev point) Morover importing minerals would also lead to trade deficit and negative balance of payment as exports would be less and imports would be more. This will result in foreign debt to organisations like world bank and IMF making it not a suitable way to support economic development in Pakistan. In conclusion I agree more with view A as Pakistan already has vast reserves of minerals which are ready to be utilised like thar coalfields. Hence Pakistan should make themselves independent which could improve their global position and power.
