Answer 1

Answer: (C)

A $\to$ (s); B $\to$ (r); C $\to$ (p); D $\to$ (q)

Ilmenite $FeO.Ti{O}_2$
Galena PbS
Sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S) is a mineral that is the chief ore of zinc. It consists largely of zinc sulfide in crystalline form but almost always contains variable iron.
Scheelite is a calcium tungstate mineral with the chemical formula $CaW{O}_4$. It is an important ore of tungsten.
