The correct option is D Displacement with $Z n$
$Z n$ being more reactive than $A g$ and $A u$ , displace them.
From the native ore,

$4 Ag + 8 NaCN + 2 H_{2} O + O_{2} L e a c h i n g - ---- \to 4 N a [A g (C N)_{2}] Soluble Sodium dicyanoargentate(I) + 4 N a O H 2 N a [A g (C N)_{2}] + Z n D i s p l a c e m e n t - ------- \to N a_{2} [Z n (C N)_{4}] + 2 A g ↓$
