Solution
The correct option is A Limestone
Quarrying is the process of removing rock, sand, gravel or other minerals from the ground in order to use them to produce materials for construction or other uses.
Limestone is most often mined from a quarry. However, underground limestone mines are found at places in the central and eastern United States, especially in and near cities. Underground mining of limestone has some advantages over surface quarrying and will probably increase in the future..
