Solution

The correct option is A

Cobalt oxide


The ordinary soda-lime glass appears colourless. The iron oxide impurities present naturally in the silica gives it a green tinge but when different colouring ions are added, the colour of the glass changes. Cobalt oxide or cobalt carbonate, when added to the glass gives it a blue colour.
