Solution

The correct option is A sintering, smelting
Sintering is the process of forming a solid mass of material by heat and/or pressure without melting it to the point of liquefaction. Sintering happens naturally in mineral deposits or as a manufacturing process used with metals, ceramics, plastics, and other materials.
Smeltings main use is to produce a metal from its ore. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gasses or slag and leaving just the metal behind. The reducing agent is commonly a source of carbon.The carbon removes oxygen from the ore, leaving behind elemental metal.

Reduction to free metal: some of the methods commonly used to get free metal from the concentrates ore are below.

Smelting: The process of extracting a metal in the state of fusions is called smelting. In this process the ore is mixed with carbon and heated in suitable furnace

Electrolytic reduction process: This process is used in the extraction of the alkali and alkaline earth metals, zinc and aluminium.

Self reduction process: The sulphide ores of less electropositive metals like Hg, Pb, Cu etc., are heated in air so asto convert part of the ore into oxide or sulphate which then reacts with the remaining sulphide ore to give the metal.

After partial roasting, the sulphide of copper is reduced by :
