Solution

The correct option is B ore
A mineral is a homogenous, naturally occurring substance with a definable internal structure. An ore is an accumulation of mineral mixed with other elements, and the concentration of the mineral should be sufficient to make its extraction commercially viable. Minerals are extracted from ores by the process of mining
